  "summary": "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. This piece, blending jazz and world music elements based on Brazilian rhythms, will be performed in Korea for the first time. 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.",
