Last Wednesday evening at a private art gallery in Shinsa Dong, German School of Music Weimar violin professor Viktoria Kaunzner and her students performed at a reception for London-based Korean painter and performance artist Francesca Cho, whose works are on display at Gallery Art Plaza.
Kaunzner began by filling the stairwell with the sound of her violin, accompanying Cho into the gallery. As Kaunzner stroked freely in expressive improvisation, Cho recited three poems, including Kaunzner’s own “For Any Ajumma”.

The exhibition continues until November 8.
With a little help from Park Haram, student Jeon So-young draws the program to a close with a Partita for solo violin by Bach.
