The Korean Chamber Orchestra (KCO) is set to present its Contrast Series 5 on October 22 at the Seoul Arts Center, showcasing a diverse range of musical styles from the Baroque period to contemporary works. The program opens with Francesco Geminiani's Concerto Grosso in D minor, H.143 "La Folia," followed by the premiere of Peter Lieuwen's Sarumba for 2 Violins and Chamber Orchestra in Korea.

The concert will also feature two guitar concertos by Antonio Vivaldi and Dmitri Shostakovich's Chamber Symphony in C minor, Op.110a. This series aims to highlight the broad musical capabilities of a chamber orchestra and illuminate musical shifts and evolution by placing contrasting pieces within a single program.
