The winner of the 6th International Karol Lipiński Violin Competition is returning to Toruń❗️

On August 16th, the first-prize winner, Sunjae Ok from South Korea, will perform Mieczysław Karłowicz's Violin Concerto in A major, Op. 8, during the unique "Nature x Cosmos" concert 💫

Following its premiere, the Berliner Börsenzeitung described the concerto as follows: “The composition consists of three movements of considerable difficulty, particularly in the violin’s upper register. It may be seen as a duel between the soloist and the richly coloured orchestra (...)” 🎶

Performing Mieczysław Karłowicz’s Violin Concerto is no easy feat. The soloist is tasked with navigating intricate polyphonic passages, rapid tempos, and extended passages in high positions—an extraordinary technical and interpretative challenge 🎻

Tickets are now available for purchase (details in the comment below⬇️)
