What to listen for
Listeners can expect Kim's violin to take the spotlight in Dvořák's Romance for Violin and Orchestra in F minor, a lyrical single movement built from a wistful main melody that the soloist returns to after wandering into more turbulent, minor-key episodes. The evening opens with Jessie Montgomery's Strum, a piece for strings that grows from plucked, guitar-like textures into sweeping bowed lines, giving the orchestra a chance to set an energetic tone before the concerto. The program closes with Brahms's Serenade No. 1, an early orchestral work in a relaxed, symphonic mood, with woodwind-led themes and a genial, outdoor character reminiscent of Haydn-era serenades. Together the pieces move from rhythmic vitality to soloistic tenderness to orchestral warmth.
