Featured Program and Repertoire Highlights
The October program balances symphonic transparency with operatic drama across four distinguished compositions:
- Christoph Willibald Gluck | Opera <Orfeo ed Euridice> Overture: A cornerstone of classical operatic reform, establishing a serene yet dramatic atmosphere.
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K.467: Famously featured in the cinematic masterpiece ‘Elvira Madigan’, showcasing poetic lyrical introspection in the second movement and sparkling virtuosic brilliance in the finale, performed by Juhee Lim.
- Franz Schubert | Symphony No. 3 in D major, D.200: Composed when Schubert was only 18, filled with youthful Italianate vitality, dance-like rhythms, and charming songful themes.
- Carl Maria von Weber | Opera <Der Freischütz> Overture: The triumphant opening to German Romantic opera, contrasting mystical horn harmonies with heroic orchestral climaxes.
