Bomsori Kim & Thomas Hoppe listing on Broadway Baby

Award-winning violinist Bomsori Kim is joined by eminent pianist Thomas Hoppe in this stunning recital celebrating Poland's rich musical heritage.

Karol Szymanowskis Nocturne and Tarantella was composed in 1915, not long after a trip to the Mediterranean. Fittingly, Nocturne evokes the atmosphere of a sultry night, as well as the light strumming of guitar music. The wild Tarantella, seemingly composed following a night of drinking, is a fiendish whirl of sound, both instruments racing for the finish line.

The programme also includes works by the romantic composer (and violin virtuoso) Henryk Wieniawski, and by Grayna Bacewicz. Known as the first lady of Polish music, Bacewicz brought a fiercely individual style to a range of distinctive works for her instrument: the violin.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
