The Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestra will present Chamber Series 1, "Flute and Chamber Music," at the Ensemble Hall of the Daejeon Arts Center on March 6 at 7:30 p.m.

This concert is arranged as a vibrant ensemble, centering on the clear timbre of the flute and harmoniously blending woodwinds and strings.

In particular, world-renowned flutist Cho Sunghyun, who served as Principal Flute for life at the G?rzenich Orchestra Cologne in Germany and is currently a professor at Yonsei University, will participate as guest leader, showcasing the essence of high-level chamber music together with Daejeon Philharmonic members.

Flutist Cho Sunghyun boasts an impressive list of achievements, including second prize at the Prague Spring International Music Competition. He has performed with major European orchestras after completing the Berlin Philharmonic Karajan Academy and received critical acclaim for his first solo album released under the Decca label.

Currently, as a professor at the College of Music at Yonsei University, he actively performs and is bringing new vitality to Korea's wind music scene.

The concert program is designed to highlight the diverse charms of the flute, spanning from the Baroque to the Romantic periods.

The first half opens with W. F. Bach’s "Duet No. 1," featuring guest leader Cho Sunghyun and Daejeon Philharmonic’s principal flutist Cho Cheolhee. Haydn’s "London Trio" and Mozart’s "Flute Quartet" follow, offering the unique balance and elegance characteristic of classical music.

In the second half, the allure of the wind ensemble deepens. The performance begins with Danzi’s "Wind Quintet No. 2" and concludes with Gounod’s "Petite Symphonie."

For this piece, the principal and associate principal woodwind and brass members of the Daejeon Philharmonic will join the flutist, delivering an overwhelming resonance that combines the precision of chamber music with the richness of an orchestra.
