Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun has been confirmed to be a special guest at the 8th Sol Philharmonic Orchestra’s concert on March 13.
At the show, Seohyun will perform Vittorio Monti’s famous piece, “Csárdás,” a work that combines powerful rhythms and heartfelt melodies, showcasing the charm of classical music.
This performance is special because Seohyun has only been learning the violin as a hobby for five months. She is determined to show the pure passion of someone who enjoys music rather than the perfection of a professional musician.
Her appearance at the concert was made possible by the Sol Philharmonic Orchestra, which is comprised of classical music enthusiasts rather than professional musicians. She decided to collaborate with the orchestra in hopes of lowering the barrier to classical music.
I hope that through my challenge, many people will feel closer to classical music. I want to show that, like popular music, classical music is also ‘everyone’s music’ and is something that anyone can easily enjoy.
— Seohyun
Although she has been playing as a hobby, she is working hard to prepare for the performance, and is expected to reveal the charm of classical music to pop music fans.
The Orchestra representative stated, “We expect Seohyun’s participation to significantly lower the barrier to classical performances. This will be a truly special performance, filled with a pure love of music.”
Seohyun, who has taken on the role of a bridge between classical and her personal challenge, is eager to see what surprises she will deliver on stage, showcasing her diverse talents beyond just acting.
Netizens were also surprised at the unexpected news.
