FROM SCHUMANN WITH LOVE
CHI YONG YUN & BEAVERTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Mozart: La clemenza di Tito Schumann: Piano Concerto Haydn: Symphony No. 103, "Drumroll" The night began with the overture to Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito, an opera written in honor of King Leopold II’s coronation as King of Bohemia, a hidden gem from Mozart’s final days. The crowning achievement of the night, however, was Schumann’s Piano Concerto, a tribute to his brilliant pianist wife and captivatingly performed by international soloist, recitalist and lecturer Chi Yong Yun. The night ended with Haydn's Symphony No. 103, created by the newly free-wheeling composer during one of the happiest times of his life. |
