Sooji Seol New work (world premiere)
Trad (arr Danish String Quartet) Folksongs
顿惫辞艡谩办 Piano Quintet no 2 in A major op 81 B 155

The timeless, intimate 鈥� and often raucous 鈥� world of folk music comes to the MyAV范 College of Music via arrangements of traditional folksong alongside music inspired by this distinctive style.

Following a world premiere performance of music by MyAV范 composer Sooji Seol, enjoy a selection of Scandinavian folksongs arranged by the Danish String Quartet 鈥� an ensemble that has devoted much of the last decade to bringing this beautiful repertoire to new audiences. The programme culminates in 顿惫辞艡谩办鈥檚 Piano Quintet no 2, a work in which, unusually, he did not use authentic Czech folk tunes but composed his own 鈥� including a finale that evokes the quick Bohemian dance known as the 鈥榝uriant鈥�.
