The Only Korean Member of the Berlin Philharmonic... How She Overcame Moments She Wanted to Quit | Violist Park Kyungmin Part 2 | Curtain Call 330

Following last week, Curtain Call Episode 330 continues its conversation with violist Park Kyungmin, the first and only Korean tenured member of the Berlin Philharmonic. After starting out on the violin during her childhood, she eventually switched to the viola. What is the charm of the viola as felt through her eyes? Leaving for Vienna, Austria alone to study when she was in her first year of middle school, she went through a period of wandering and even thought about giving up everything. What was the driving force that allowed her to refocus and continue her music just as she was on the verge of quitting?

We share a variety of stories, including the competition where she stayed until the very end even after being eliminated midway, curtain calls that still remain vivid in her memory, and the famous "viola jokes" in the classical music world. Discover the genuine story of violist Park Kyungmin behind the glamorous stage in Part 2.
