Music for Galway and Cúirt present: GONE – Min Kym, violinist and author, in conversation with Toner Quinn
Presented in association with CÚIRT International Festival of Literature in the TOWN HALL THEATRE
Min Kym, violinist and author, in conversation with Toner Quinn
Korean-born, London-raised violinist Min Kym talks about growing up as a child prodigy, gives insights into the world of a budding soloist and the special relationship a violinist develops with their instrument, in this case a priceless Stradivarius that was dramatically stolen from her in central London. She will read from her bestselling memoir Gone: A Girl, a Violin, a Life Unstrung and perform some of the works mentioned in the book.
Toner Quinn is editor of The Journal of Music and Lecturer in Publishing at NUI Galway.
