Olga Kern piano
Yoshimatsu: Sinfonia in Birds: To the Birds of Youth
Grieg: Piano Concerto
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5
The NMPhil explores the many faces of love and fate in this emotionally charged program. Olga Kern returns to the Popejoy stage to take on Edvard Grieg’s fiery, lyrical, Schumann-influenced piano concerto. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony journeys from darkness to triumph with sweeping lyricism and commanding orchestral writing. The program opens with Takashi Yoshimatsu’s Sinfonia in Birds: To the Birds of Youth, a playful, avian-inspired mini-symphony that sets a vivid and imaginative tone.
