Sooyoung of Girls' Generation steps away from her glamorous spotlight as an actress and surprises everyone by transforming into a passionate violinist. She will perform as a special guest at the 'Sol Philharmonic Orchestra's 8th regular concert' on March 13 at 8 PM at the Lotte Concert Hall in Songpa, Seoul. In this performance, Sooyoung plans to deliver the charm of classical music by playing Vittorio Monti's famous piece 'Csárdás,' which intertwines intense rhythms and melancholic melodies. The reason this stage is particularly special is that Sooyoung has only been learning the violin for about five months at a 'hobby level.' She expressed her desire to be called a 'Balinist' (violin + child in Korean: 'orini') and revealed her determination to show the pure passion of someone who enjoys music rather than the perfection of a professional performer. Sooyoung's participation was made possible because she resonated with the purpose of the 'Sol Philharmonic Orchestra,' which consists of people who love classical music rather than professional musicians. She decided to collaborate to lower the barriers of classical music and hopes to make this genre feel more accessible to many people. Sooyoung stated, 'I would be happy if many people feel closer to classical music and discover new enjoyment through my challenge. I want to convey that classical music is also 'our music' that everyone can enjoy casually, just like popular music.' Although she started playing the violin as a hobby, Sooyoung has been diligently practicing to synchronize with the orchestra for this performance. The melodies she plays are expected to deliver a new charm of classical music to pop music fans and fresh, pure energy to classical enthusiasts. A representative from the Sol Philharmonic Orchestra mentioned, 'We hope that Sooyoung's participation will further lower the barriers to classical performances. It will be a very special stage filled with a pure heart that loves music.' Sooyoung has taken it upon herself to become a bridge to the genre of classical music, going beyond a mere personal challenge. Attention is focused on how she will deliver delightful surprises on this stage as she showcases her diverse journey as an artist beyond her role as an actress. Under the direction of Cho Sang-wook, this concert will feature a diverse program including Tchaikovsky's 'Symphony No. 5,' Marquez's 'Danzón No. 2,' and Vivaldi's 'Spring' from 'The Four Seasons.' Tickets can be reserved at the Lotte Concert Hall and NOL ticket.
