Elgar Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 (I. Adagio – Moderato, II. Lento – Allegro molto, III. Adagio)
Soomin Kim, cello
Luis Ortiz, piano
Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor is one of the most well known pieces in the cello repertoire. The piece had its premiere in October of 1919 with the London Symphony Orchestra. Yet it did not gain popularity until Jacqueline du Pré’s recording in the 1960s. It was Elgar’s last notable work, written during the aftermath of the First World War in 1919. The work consists of four movements: I. Adagio – Moderato, II. Lento – Allegro molto, III. Adagio, IV. Allegro – Moderato – Allegro, ma non-troppo – Poco più lento – Adagio.
Soomin Kim, 19, started playing cello at the age of 8. She studies with Richard Aaron through the Columbia-Juilliard Exchange Program. She has performed as a soloist with the NV orchestra, Dwight Englewood orchestra, and Korean American Youth Orchestra, where she was highly recognized for her passion and performance. She was the winner of numerous competitions. Soomin also volunteered at various nonprofit organizations, where she taught music to underprivileged children and visited schools, libraries, and senior homes to spread her passion in music. Aside from playing cello, she studies computer Science and mathematics at Columbia University.

Online EPIC Yoga
Every Thursday: 10–11am and 11:15am–12:15pm
| |
|
Professor Emerita Virginia Papaioannou, a registered teacher with the Yoga Alliance, leads EPIC Yoga. No prior experience is required to join. Yoga can benefit people at all levels of physical training and health, but it is always wise to consult with a physician before undertaking any new exercise regime. Modifications will be offered to any participants with specific limitations arising from recovery from injury, arthritis, limited movement, or other causes.
Two one-hour classes are offered each week. The 10–11am class practices breathing techniques and moves through some basic yoga poses, concentrating on alignment, balance, and flexibility. Those with experience move more deeply into the poses. From 11:15am–12:15pm, we practice gentle/chair yoga, which is ideal for those of more limited mobility or flexibility. Classes include breathing, stretching, and yoga poses, done either seated in a chair or standing. No yoga mats are required for this class.
