JOO YEON SIR violin & IRINA ANDRIEVSKY piano

Festival favourite, violinist Joo Yeon Sir, returns with a typically virtuosic programme, accompanied by pianist Irina Andrievsky. Their programme will include works by Vitali and Kreisler, together with Grieg Sonata No. 1 in G minor, and Frolov‘s bravura, effervescent Concert Fantasy on Themes from Gershwin’s ‘Porgy and Bess’.

Described by The Strad as “exuberant… seductive… with bravura and oodles of personality“, prize-winning violinist and composer Joo Yeon Sir has appeared as a soloist with the Royal Philharmonic, Philharmonia, and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestras, at venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Wales Millennium Centre, and Liverpool Symphony Hall. She has performed recitals at Wigmore Hall and Bridgewater Hall, with pianist Irina Andrievsky, and is regularly featured on the BBC, Classic FM, Scala, RTE, and France Musique Radios. Music from her latest album, Solitude, has recently been heard all the way in Arizona, US. Joo Yeon plays on a Matteo Goffriller violin kindly provided by Georg von Opel.
