Sergei Krylov, violin

Gum Nanse, conductor

Following last August’s chamber concert, violinist Sergei Krylov returns to the Ljubljana Festival. A strikingly broad repertoire, profound expressive insights and intense lyricism are among the qualities that have secured this Russian-born virtuoso a place among today’s most renowned performers. He has performed with many leading musicians and orchestras, including the St Petersburg Philharmonic, the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra and the Filarmonica della Scala. The great cellist and conductor Mstislav Rostropovich stands among the most important influences on his artistic development. Krylov will appear at this concert with the Seongnam Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the South Korean conductor Gum Nanse, who in 1977 became the first Korean to win the Herbert von Karajan Foundation’s International Competition for Conductors. Founded in 2003, the Seongnam Philharmonic is extremely active and, despite its youth, has already achieved a remarkably high level of performance. The programme will consist of a work by Korean composer Hojung Lee and two very popular works from the classical repertoire: Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major and Mendelssohn’s Fourth Symphony, popularly known as the “Italian”.

Programme:
H. Lee: Unified Friends for string orchestra
P. I. Čajkovski: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35
F. Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 4 in A major, Op. 90, “Italian”
