Commissioned by Sejong Soloists
World Premiere 5/22/2024 Zankel Hall, Carnegie Hall (New York)

Musicians from the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Orchestra, Montreal Symphony, and Hamburg Philharmonic—all alumni of Sejong Soloists and currently serving as concertmasters in major North American and European orchestras—gathered for the ensemble’s 30th anniversary.
On this occasion, the commissioned work with/out, a concerto for four violins by composer Texu Kim, received its world premiere. Bringing together four concertmasters who symbolize Sejong Soloists’ three decades of legacy in a program featuring Kim’s music, the performance became a defining moment that both celebrated the ensemble’s history and affirmed its future path.
