Curtain Call 7th Anniversary Concert 'Curtain Call of My Life' Part 2
To mark the 7th anniversary of the Curtain Call podcast, a special concert titled 'Curtain Call of My Life' was held, featuring bass-baritone Samuel Youn, pianist William Youn, and violinist Lee Ji-hye. The curtain call, where performers return to the stage after the main program to respond to the audience's applause, is often the decisive moment that defines the impression of a performance. Three artists who grace stages across the globe share stories of the 'curtain calls of their lives' that remain unforgettable memories, accompanied by their performances.
What was the curtain call like for Lee Ji-hye, who performed in the final concert of the late maestro Mariss Jansons? What encore piece did William Youn perform during the retirement concert of Sabine Meyer, known as the 'Empress of the Clarinet'? And why did Samuel Youn feel such unexpected emotion after an opera performance where he struggled through poor physical condition?
This concert, co-organized by Curtain Call's culture correspondent Kim Soo-hyun and The House Concert, also served as the first 'live broadcast' for the podcast. On a day that rivaled the popularity of the hit SBS radio program 'Cultwo Show,' the three performers treated the audience, who packed the Artist House in Daehak-ro, to encore performances that will likely never be seen again. Please stay with us until the end of the 7th-anniversary concert Part 2.
