TIME: 18:00 & 20:30
Opening Concert 1 & 2
In this season’s inaugural concert, we weave together the lyrical beauty of Dvořák’s Piano Quintet with the jazz-inflected virtuosity of Nikolai Kapustin, presented by the globally acclaimed pianist Yeol Eum Son. Known for her breathtaking musicality and technical excellence, Son has captivated audiences worldwide since her standout performance with the New York Philharmonic.
This evening also marks the return of the esteemed clarinetist Julian Bliss and the virtuoso violinist Kristine Balanas, whose previous appearances have left lasting impressions.
Join us for an opening concert that promises a harmonious blend of classical tradition and innovative narratives, setting a splendid tone for a season of musical enchantment.
