Patrick Yim, violin (guest artist)

Honolulu-born violinist Patrick Yim presents a recital of works for solo violin composed in the last decade, including a number of works written for Yim. The eclectic program featuring works inspired by a diverse range of sources, including the Silk Road, the city of Hong Kong, the tonal language of Cantonese, the music of Bach and Kurtag, and traditional Xinjiang folk music, was curated to cultivate an appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the East and to demonstrate the sonic possibilities of the violin being explored by contemporary composers.
