South Korean star violinist Bomsori makes her Proms debut with Bruch鈥檚 much-loved First Violin Concerto 鈥� the 鈥榬ichest鈥� and 鈥榤ost seductive鈥� of all the concertos for the instrument, according to 19th-century virtuoso Joseph Joachim. The folk music that runs through Bruch鈥檚 concerto also pulses through Brahms鈥檚 lively Hungarian Dances and Bart贸k鈥檚 Concerto for Orchestra 鈥� a musical tour de force that takes listeners from 鈥榮ternness鈥� to 鈥榣ife-assertion鈥�. This season鈥檚 focus on the music of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor begins with the composer鈥檚 lyrical, Elgar-inspired Ballade. Anja Bihlmaier conducts the 麻豆社 Philharmonic in her Proms debut.
