(arr. for violin and piano) Cast Bomsori Kim — Violinist Julien Quentin — Pianist Program notes Don’t miss violin superstar Bomsori Kim’s Verbier Festival debut with the exceptional Julien Quentin in a program bridging the realms of Romanticism and Impressionism! Composed in 1917, Debussy’s Violin Sonata in G Minor conveys a whirlwind of emotions through rich chromatic lines and innovative thematic development. By contrast, Szymanowski’s Violin Sonata in D Minor reflects the late-Romantic style while foreshadowing the impressionist influences that would characterize future compositions. The concert continues with Fauré’s Violin Sonata No. 1 in A Major, praised by Saint-Saëns as a masterful composition containing “new forms, excellent modulations, unusual tone colors,“ before turning to Szymanowski’s Nocturne and Tarantella Op. 28, evoking the impressionism of Debussy and innovation of early Stravinsky.
