The Outlook Podcast Archive - The day the music stopped

Violin virtuoso Min Kym was at the height of her career when she became the victim of a crime that made headlines around the world. She was a child prodigy whose family moved from South Korea to London to help her to develop her talent. Then, at 21, she met the love of her life: a Stradivarius violin. She would joke that she was 99% violin and 1% human. But then her violin was stolen. We first spoke to Min in 2017. It’s been a long journey to find a new soulmate but next week she picks up her brand new, specially commissioned, violin that she has watched grow from a piece of wood. She’s hoping it will be the new perfect partner.
