Touring with pianist Kevin Kenner, violinist Kyung Wha Chung is performing three violin sonatas showcasing her extraordinary skill and musicality. Her acclaim began in the 1970s as Itzhak Perlman’s substitute with the London Symphony Orchestra, and since then she’s collected recognition for solo recordings, chamber music, and her teaching residency at Julliard.

Kyung Wha Chung is a South Korean-born violinist, who brings her renowned musicality to performances with the world’s most prestigious orchestras under the baton of conductors such as Sir Simon Rattle, Claudio Abbado, and Bernard Haitink. Chung has pleased millions of listeners with her powerful sound. She’s spent her career bringing audiences together to hear the limitless sound of the violin, and brings that same grandiosity to Worcester.

In this rich program for violin and piano, Chung explores the personalities of the violin through many thematic voices. These works display lush, intense, and virtuosic writing for violin, drawing the listener in with natural moments of introspection followed by passionate explosions of sound. From Grieg’s romance to Schumann’s precision, this program – while delicate, lyrical, and dramatic – is inspirational.

PROGRAM

Robert Schumann – Violin Sonata No. 1
Edvard Grieg – Violin Sonata No. 3
César Franck – Sonata in A Major

Mechanics Hall

321 Main Street Worcester, MA 01608

Mechanics Hall, built in 1857, is a four-story structure that remains an incredible venue for live music. Renowned for its acoustics, it is located in downtown Worcester just blocks away from Route 290.

SEATING 

Seating in the floor level of the Great Hall is accessible via elevator, by the Waldo St. entrance to the building. The balcony is not accessible by elevator. Read more about accessibility here.

We suggest parties with small children sit in our side balconies whenever possible, as they provide the best view for small children who may not have a clear view from the flat seating on the floor level.

Balcony seating has less leg room. If you’re a taller patron, we recommend floor seating or choosing an aisle seat in the balcony section.

PARKING

The closest parking garage is Pearl Elm Garage (20 Pearl St.) Music Worcester offers free parking for Mechanics Hall presentations – read more here. There is also on-street parking on neighboring streets.
