Titled "Han Soo-Jin and the British Original," the concert aims to offer a fresh perspective on British classical compositions, often overshadowed by their European counterparts. Han Soo-jin, recognized as one of Korea's leading next-generation violinists, brings her wealth of experience and education from the United Kingdom to the stage. Trained at prestigious institutions such as the Yehudi Menuhin School, the Purcell School, Oxford University, and the Royal Academy of Music in London, she is known for her skillful performances with a 1666 Stradivarius.

The repertoire for the concert spans various British composers and styles, showcasing works that have left significant imprints on the classical music landscape. Opening with Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 92 "Oxford," the concert pays tribute to the composer's connection to the U.K.
The program includes classics by Ralph Vaughan Williams, featuring "Fantasia on Green Sleeves" and "The Lark Ascending." Han's interpretations, reflecting her deep understanding of British sentiment and culture, hold anticipation, especially for "The Lark Ascending," known to the Korean public for its use in Kim Yu-na's figure skating program.
Orchestra The Original, under conductor Adriel Kim, has been pivotal in introducing neoclassical music to Korean audiences. The concert explores Edward Elgar's "Enigma Variations," focusing on No. 8 "W.N." and No. 9 "Nimrod." Max Richter's innovative "Recomposed: Vivaldi — The Four Seasons" provides a contemporary perspective on British classical music.
The evening concludes with the Korean premiere of Eric Coates' "London Suite," a mid-20th century example of British light music. Characterized by lyrical melodies and a light-hearted nature, this piece has been embedded in British culture and featured in events like the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony.
Adriel Kim, the artistic director of Orchestra The Original, known for his creative approach to classical music, will bring a British flair to the podium with a rich and diverse experience. "Han Soo-Jin and the British Original" is scheduled at the Concert Hall of the Seoul Arts Center on Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
