Not only in large symphonic ensembles, but also as the Konzerthaus Kammerorchester, our musicians regularly gather together under the direction of our first concertmasters. In this case, Suyoen Kim leads the ensemble and is also the soloist for Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in D Minor. The young Felix Mendelssohn composed the work in 1822 at the age of 13, inspired by his violin teacher and the music of Bach. His world-famous Concerto in E Minor was composed more than two decades later.
