Soovin Kim: Bach’s Tremendous Technique & Style at The Old Church Concert Hall

TWO CONCERT EVENINGS OF INCREDIBLE SOLO VIOLIN WORKS

Artistic Director Soovin Kim will perform the Mount Everest for a violinist: Bach’s complete Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin, over two concert evenings.

This first concert includes Bach’s spirited Partita No. 3 in E Major and his technically challenging Sonata No. 2 in A Minor in the first half, then his spiritually and emotionally powerful Partita No. 2 in D Minor, with its beloved Chaconne, that closes the evening’s program.

When the world shut down in 2020, one of the first musicians in the nation to step onto a stage to share desperately needed music with the world was our own artistic director, acclaimed violinist Soovin Kim. CMNW streamed his monumental performance of Bach’s complete Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin from Massachusetts’s majestic Jordan Hall for thousands of home-bound viewers. Now, it is finally our honor and privilege to have him perform them LIVE! This will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience this marathon performance over two evenings, and you’ll hear of some of Bach’s most moving works…by CMNW’s own violinist extraordinaire.

Presented in collaboration with Oregon Bach Festival.
