Karen Gomyo

Copland – Fanfare for the Common Man

Sibelius – Violin Concerto in D minor

Tchaikovsky – Symphony no. 6

(Pathétique)

Canadian violinist Karen Gomyo won

the 1997 Young Concert Artists

International Auditions just one week

after her fifteenth birthday. The

following year she became the

youngest artist ever to be presented

in the Young Concert Artists Series

in New York. Playing the rare 1703

Stradivarius “Ex Foulis” violin, she

delights audiences with her

passionate, virtuosic performances. 

In addition to her performance of the

Sibelius, one of the greatest

romantic violin concertos, the

orchestra performs the lushly

orchestrated and emotional

“Pathetique” Symphony, Tchaikovsky’s

last composition.
