Inmo Yang

Inmo Yang is a violinist appearing as soloist with Pacific Symphony in March 2027, performing the Sibelius Violin Concerto alongside Berlioz's Le carnaval romain and Stravinsky's Petrushka. Based on the available directory information, this engagement showcases him in one of the core Romantic-era concertos for the instrument.

Yang appears here as soloist in the Sibelius Violin Concerto, a piece built around long, exposed melodic lines that ask a violinist to sustain a singing tone across the instrument's full range, from a hushed, cold-sounding opening to passages of rapid, virtuosic double-stops (two notes played at once). The concerto moves between brooding, slow-building sections and a final movement with a driving, dance-like rhythm often described as a "polonaise for polar bears." Listeners can expect the orchestra to frame this with two contrasting curtain-raisers and closers: Berlioz's brisk, colorful overture Le carnaval romain, and Stravinsky's Petrushka, a vividly orchestrated ballet score full of shifting scenes, folk-tune fragments, and percussive color depicting a puppet come to life.
