The Korea Foundation and the Norwegian Embassy are co-hosting a spring concert at LG Arts Center on April 17.

“Korea Foundation Spring Concert 2012: The Lyricism of Norway” will feature the husband-and-wife team of conductor and violinist Stephan Barratt-Due and violist Chung Soon-mi, as well as Korean pianist Chong Park.

Barratt-Due is also the artistic director of the Barratt-Due Institute of Music in Norway.

The program for the evening includes familiar favorite “Tarantella” by Franz Liszt as well as pieces by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, Max Bruch and Wolfgang Mozart. Others to be featured are Norwegian composers Arne Nordeheim and Johan Halvorsen, and 19th century Belgian composer Henry Vieuxtemps.

“We hold our annual spring concerts to share the opportunity to enjoy the performances of world-celebrated classical musicians who are not as well-known to the domestic audience,” said Ahn Yoo-na, a staff member at the Korea Foundation.

¡Reservations can be made from noon on April 9 through 6 p.m. on April 12 at the foundation’s website, www.kf.or.kr.
