Germany-based Kazakhstani violinist Roman Kim will collaborate with Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra to present a night of classical music.

    Kim delights audiences with outstanding virtuosity, unrestrained energy and artistic sensitivity. He cares little for conventions or expectations, instead preferring to rediscover the Romantic repertory for himself and his audience.

    He specializes in the major works by Glazunov, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Brahms and Mendelssohn, but his most important inspiration is the life and work of legendary violinist Niccolo Paganini — to whom the young virtuoso/composer has been favorably compared. His debut with the Philharmonie Cologne caused the Koelner Stadt Anzeiger to exclaim: “Kim demonstrated a witchcraft, which made the visitors of the Cologne Philharmonie jump from their chairs. ... No one else could create more varied sounds and extravagances in five minutes.”

    A further inspiration for Kim is the legendary rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix, whose innovations continue to spur Kim to look beyond stylistic horizons and search for unheard of sounds through unconventional means.

    Kim has attended master classes with Midori Goto, Lewis Kaplan, Miriam Fried and Gidon Kremer.

    At the age of 16, Kim was admitted to the Cologne Academy of Music, where he studied composition. In 2012 he won first prize at the 28th International Music Competition Valsesia Musica. After taking first prize at the Cologne International Music Competition, he made his German orchestral debut with the esteemed West German Radio Orchestra. Among his compositions are “Three Romances for Violin and Piano,” “I Brindisi,” and transcriptions of Bach’s “Badinerie” and “Air.”
