A tightly woven program, with warp and weft spinning around Beethoven and Bach.

despite – or perhaps because of – his doubts.

SUN C
SUN C
Shortly after WWII, a young GI who was a principal oboist in his civilian life visited
Strauss and asked if he’d ever thought of composing a concerto for oboe. “No,”
came the terse reply. But the idea grew on him. Now you’ll see why.

Please give the gift of music today!
With its explosive opening, Grieg’s only Piano Concerto is a perfect fit
for the fiery Lang Lang. Penned at the youthful age of 25, the piece
contrasts grandeur and folk-song, powerfully evoking the dramatic
fjords of Grieg’s Norse homeland.
