“the Irish writer Oscar Wilde said, ‘Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest level of intellectual expression.’ “We invite you to a concert filled with all kinds of humor, humor, satire and sarcasm.” (Koo Ja-eun, Artistic Director of Friends of Music)
The chamber music group ‘Friends of Music’, which celebrates its 12th anniversary this year, will hold its year-end concert and 29th regular concert at the IBK Chamber Hall of the Seoul Arts Centre on the 15th. The title is ‘Why so serious?’ On the poster, under the title text, which had no decoration whatsoever, it was written in English, ‘Due to stress, there is no nice poster this time.’
The program was filled with Mozart’s ‘Musical joke’ K522,Shedrin’s ’Three Funny Pieces for Piano Trio’,Kabalevsky’s ‘Comedian Suite for Four Hands’,and PDQ bach’s ‘Viola Sonata for Four Hands’.
‘Musical Joke’ is a song composed by Mozart to ridicule low-level musicians, and it contains funny mistakes that amateur composers and performers tend to make. The Comedian Suite is a piece written by Soviet composer Kabalevsky for a comical play for children,and contains not only laughter but also sharp satire.
PDQ Bach is the name of a fictitious composer created by American composer and satirist Peter Schieke, based on the fact that there were many composers among the sons of Johann Sebastian bach, known as ‘The Great Bach’. It comically mocks a variety of music, not only from the era of Bach’s sons but also today’s music.
ja-eun Koo,Artistic Director of Friends of Music,said,“We decided on the concept of the concert to encourage people to forget their serious expressions and laugh at ease during times of difficult times such as the economic downturn.” He added, “It is a combination of shock and so-called ‘great joy + fun.’ “You can look forward to this performance, especially as the performers’ performances will appear,” he said. Performers who make up the pillars of the domestic performance industry, including violin Kim Da-mi, Lim Do-kyung, viola Kim Sang-jin and Lee Hae-su, cello Hong
Chae-won and Shim Jun-ho, horn Lee Seok-jun and Kim Hong-bak, and piano Moon Jae-won and Park Jin-hyung, are expected to join in ‘throwing away face and producing laughter.’ 1668-1352, 1544-1555
