Korean Virtuoso Debuts with The MPO @ DFP

The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) continues to tell stories through its exceptional music collaborations, this time around with Korean violin virtuoso Bomsori Kim on Saturday, 28 June 2025 at 8.00 pm at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP).


Kim is a regular guest at renowned music festivals in Europe and a prizewinner of many prestigious violin competitions. Bestowed with the Young Artist Award from the South Korean Ministry of Culture, she has performed under conductors Paavo Järvi and Fabio Luisi. The audiences in Hong Kong, London, New York and Los Angeles have been privileged to witness her exceptional musicality.

The MPO joins the rank of her prestigious orchestral collaborations which include the New York Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, Vienna Symphony, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Netherlands Radio Orchestra and San Francisco Symphony. She has also performed under conductors Paavo Jarvi and Fabio Luisi. The audiences in Hong Kong, London, New York and Los Angeles have been privileged to witness her exceptional musicality.

Together with the MPO, she will enthrall the audience at DFP with Bruch’s Violin Concerto No.1, a work with brilliant lyricism. Completed in 1866, this work will witness the MPO’s vigorous and energetic musicianship before the soloist enters with a full gypsy-like theme with a virtuosic flair.

Conductor Jaume Santonja returns to conduct the MPO in an evening of sweeping romanticism and passionate tonal colours. The MPO will open the concert with Overture to Byron’s Manfred composed by Schumann, based on Byron’s great dramatic poem. This work is acknowledged as one of Schumann’s greatest masterpieces.

The concert will be brought to a rapturous closure with Symphonic Dances, one of Rachmaninoff’s finest scores in his catalogue with exceptionally brilliant orchestration. The Philadelphia Orchestra was given the honour to premiere this work in 1941.

Join the MPO, Jaume Santonja and Bomsori Kim in another exhilarating concert that weaves an unforgettable splendour, only at DFP.
