Yunchan Lim

In 2022, Yunchan Lim was the youngest winner ever of the major Van Cliburn Piano Competition. Now, at 21, he makes his debut with us with Robert Schumann's only Piano Concerto . The dreamy slow movement of this romantic work is among the most beautiful Schumann ever composed.

Dvořák and Suk

After the intermission, conductor Jakub Hrůša leads us through his native Czech Republic with two symphonic poems by renowned compatriots. With The Wood Dove, Dvořák expresses a story of passion, murder, and all-consuming guilt in a village community. When Dvořák died in the spring of 1904, his pupil and son-in-law Josef Suk was working on Prague , a symphonic ode to the city of Prague. The epic work also became a tribute to his mentor.
