Mendelssohn's First Piano Concerto & Dvořák's Eighth Symphony
Mendelssohn's First Piano Concerto & Dvořák's Eighth Symphony
Friday, December 9—Sunday, December 11, 2022
Dvořák’s Eighth remains one of his most popular symphonies; its uplifting, dance-like melodies are inspired by the folk songs of his native Bohemia. The Times of London has called Yeol Eum Son “a model of clarity and fleetness”—qualities that shine in her performance of Mendelssohn’s spellbinding work for piano and orchestra. The program opens with a DSO premiere of Pulitzer Prize–winner Tania León's work Pasajes.
Amplifying Voices is a New Music USA initiative, which is powered by the Sphinx Ventures Fund, with additional support from ASCAP and the Sorel Organization.

“ Yeol Eum Son… played with a dazzling range of dynamics, patiently giving each musical idea a semi-improvisatory spontaneity. ”
