1 Music. Petworth Festival. Min Kym (violin) with Ian Brown (piano), Saturday, July 21, 7.30pm, Champs Hill. Following Min Kym’s revealing talk at November’s Literary Festival at which she discussed the shocking experience of having her Stradivarius violin stolen, we hear the international Korean/British violinist as she performs a recital featuring three works central to the solo violin repertoire and including Bartok’s rhapsody based on Hungarian folk melodies.
