Humperdinck Prelude from Hansel and Gretel
Wieniawski Fantaisie brilliante, on themes from Gounod’s Faust, Op. 20
Waxman Carmen Fantasy
Dvořák Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88

Bomsori Kim violin
Marios Papadopoulos conductor

Winner of the Concerto Prize at the 2024 BBC Music Magazine Awards, Bomsori Kim brings her virtuosic storytelling to two spellbinding violin works distilled from great operas: Waxman’s famous Carmen Fantasy and Wieniawski’s wickedly entertaining fantasy on themes from Gounod’s Faust. Complementing these performances, Marios Papadopoulos conducts Humperdinck’s glowing prelude to Hänsel and Gretel and Dvořák’s thrilling Symphony No. 8, a supreme marriage of immediacy and architectural brilliance.
