March 26 / 7:30 p.m.
Trinity Presbyterian Church
Pianist Min Joung Kim explores the complications of love in the free Lewisville Lake Symphony’s International Chamber Series concert at 7:30 p.m. on March 26 at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 5500 Morriss Road. The program opens with a portrait of Ondine, the heroine of one of Debussy’s Preludes. According to legend, the seductive and amoral water nymph married a two-timing human with unfortunate consequences for both. The composition makes extremely forbidding technical demands, among them hair-raising passages in chromatic thirds, and one instance of rapid leaps in both hands across almost the whole width of the keyboard. Alexander Scriabin seriously injured his right hand by over-practicing this piece and wrote the funeral march of his First Sonata in memory of his damaged hand.
Born in South Korea, pianist Min Joung Kim had her first piano lesson at the age of seven. By the age of nine she was already entering piano competitions and eventually won many significant competitions in Korea including the Sam-Ik national competition. She also appeared as soloist with the Pusan Philharmonic Orchestra and the Seoul Symphony Orchestra. She was a guest faculty member at the Tong Il Han Piano Institute, has appeared at the MusicAlp festival in France, and as soloist with the Ulsan University Chamber Orchestra and the St. Petersburg Radio Orchestra. Currently Miss Kim is a doctoral candidate at the University of North Texas, where she studies with Dr. Pamela Mia Paul. Visit www.lewisvillesymphony.org for full concert details.
