Westfield, NJ - Listen to the main work by the Rautwara, Sibelius and Tchaikovsky performed directly by the New Jersey Westfield Festival orchestra on March 26 at the first United Methodist Church.
The program, "Voice of Arctic", will display Sibelius songs with internationally recognized violin virtuoso Jevon Kim.
"The concert program can be summarized as a vibrant and moody music experience," said Director of Music and Conductor David Wroe. "We have chosen three pieces of northern European countries whose music language contrasts in color and style.
"Tchaikovsky - The last great composer 'Romantic' - writes abundant symphony with lush melodies, fast marches and heat-hot emotional intensity," he continued. "Two Finnish composers, Sibelius and Rautvara, use music such as impressionist painters, creating soft, mysterious and sometimes deep colors that achieve the depth of the listeners Actual bird migration.
Technically for the first for NJFO, the real sound of birds recorded by musicians will resonate around the concert hall to dramatically with direct orchestral performance, according to the orchestra.
Joining Maestro Wroe and the 50-piece orchestra will violin Virtuoso Jaewan Kim conducts the famous and spectacular Jean K. Sibelius concert in the minor for violin and orchestra.
"It rarely has New Jersey lucky enough to host the jammed young violin players and rising stars," Wroe said. "Jewon comes from South Korea and has won international ratification and a long list of competitions."
NJFO was honored to accommodate US debut Kim, Wu said.
"I already know Jawon because he is a child who is a miracle and pursues his career for a while to find the opportunity to work with him," Wroe said. "We think he will meet the technical demands and emotional maturity needed to provide a large violin concert Sibelius."

NJFO said the concert was made possible through generous support from Betty Davis Gates and the NJ State Council.
Music lovers are encouraged to buy their tickets early.
"Obviously there is energy among the audience members to enjoy the show again after a two-year-old hiatu," Wroe said. "This desire to return was tested in December when we performed at a house that was almost sold out for our 'Three Holiday Tenors' concert at Westfield and Drew University."
