About

[Performance Description] Roman Kim & Andi Music Roman Kim & Andi Music's performance is structured as a stage that multidimensionally reveals the essential power of music through works from different eras and styles—the process of stirring human emotions and purifying the inner self. Amidst rapid environmental changes and conflicts around the world, this performance focuses on the healing role and emotional resonance of music, and seeks to expand the meaning of connection and restoration through the shared experience of performers and audiences breathing together. The first stage opens with the orchestral work "The Story of Neukgu in Bomoon Mountain" composed by Sung Hyuk Ahn. This work is a suite that takes a real incident in Daejeon as its motif and musically unfolds the movement of existence in nature and the human emotional changes surrounding that process. It delicately portrays the intersecting relationship between nature and humanity within the flow from curiosity and tension, through pursuit and anxiety, to finally reaching relief. The eclectic musical language in which tonality and atonality coexist further expands this narrative multidimensionally and effectively constructs a flow of tension and resolution. Following this, Russian violinist Roman Kim, called the Paganini of the 21st century, takes the stage as a soloist to present Nicolò Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 1 in D Major, Op. 6 with overwhelming technique and profound interpretation. Through this performance, extreme virtuosity and explosive energy will powerfully express the tension and release of human emotion. Finally, Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, Op. 35 is newly reconstructed and performed in Andi Music's original orchestration. This interpretation, which transforms a large-scale orchestral work into a more condensed instrumentation, expands the original's narrative quality and color palette with new sonic language, allowing the familiar music to be re-perceived with fresh sensibility. Through this, the tension and balance inherent in music, as well as emotional transformation, are rendered more distinctly. In this way, works from different eras and aesthetics are connected within a single flow, revealing that music is a medium of profound resonance that connects humans and the world through emotion and experience. Through each work, audiences will experience various layers of emotion and together feel the tension and release created by music, as well as inner balance.
