Paavo Järvi and Seong-Jin Cho

Seong-Jin Cho, 2024/25 Artist in Residence, is considered a poet at the piano and, by his own admission, also has a penchant for black humour. This is reflected not least in the work he has chosen for this programme, Shostakovich’s Concerto for Piano and Trumpet which brilliantly parodies the genre of the piano concerto. In contrast to this is Anton Bruckner’s First Symphony with its spiritual solemnity. Paavo Järvi opens the evening with an overture by Veljo Tormis.
