Joo Yeon Sir’s busy January

JooYeonSir

Award-winning violinist Joo Yeon Sir has got a busy year in front of her. It kicks off with a free lunchtime recital at St. Martin-in-the-Fields on Friday 9 January, continuing with concerts with orchestras in London, Cambridge, Croydon and Oxford, as well as presenting the complete Beethoven Sonata Cycle at Royal College of Music.

For January, her diary looks like this. Of the four concerts, the one on 28 January looks particularly interesting, involving dance and animation as well as music.

A magical evening for a unique experience – walk through the RCM’s Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall to be transported into a world of projected animations and be the silhouette that interacts with a dancer’s silhouette to witness the birth of the butterfly lovers.

A beautifully designed collaboration between students of the RCM and Royal College of Art to re-invigorate the romantic Chinese legend.
