One Day, Three Recitals – three exceptional young violinists, Sunjae Ok (South Korea), Carla Marrero Martínez (Spain), and Wonbeen Chung (South Korea) – will take the stage in Toruń, performing masterpieces by three legendary virtuosos of the violin: Niccolò Paganini, Karol Lipiński, and Henryk Wieniawski. This promises to be a true delight for lovers of string music.

In October 2024, the Toruń audience was captivated by these remarkable artists during the 6th International Karol Lipiński Violin Competition. Over the course of the competition, they advanced through three demanding stages, dedicating long hours to rehearsals and performing in solo recitals, with piano accompaniment, and alongside the Toruń Symphony Orchestra. Their talent, discipline, and passion were on full display — but in the end, there could only be one winner.

Sunjae Ok claimed first prize, along with several additional awards.

Wonbeen Chung was awarded third place, also receiving multiple special prizes.

Carla Marrero Martínez earned the title of finalist, and was additionally honoured with the Youth Jury and Festival Office Awards.

Now, these three outstanding musicians return to Toruń to showcase their artistry through the iconic works of Paganini, Lipiński, and Wieniawski, and pieces by other great composers such as Eugène Ysaÿe, Robert Schumann, and Franz Schubert.

They will be accompanied by pianists Radosław Kurek and Bartłomiej Wezner, who also supported them during the competition, helping bring their performances to life on stage.
