NSOI: Bomsori plays Korngold's Violin Concerto

Prepare for a night of orchestral spectacle reminiscent of Hollywood’s golden era as part of our Friends Gala, as Korean violin sensation Bomsori brings Korngold’s electrifying Violin Concerto to life. Overflowing with sweeping and lush melodies based on themes that Korngold had written for the silver screen, the piece, which premiered in 1947, was famously dedicated to Alma Mahler, widow of Gustav Mahler and longtime friend of Korngold. Today, it is widely considered one of the most beloved romantic violin concertos by violinists and audiences alike.
