Masterworks I – Fialkowska on Fire
November 8, 2024 7:30 pm
Join us in Capitol Theater as we kick off the 24/25 Masterworks season with a fiery display of masterful musicianship. We open with a gem from the classical era by German composer and Mozart contemporary, Carl P. Stamitz with Symphony in C Major, Op. 13/16 No. 5. This work provides a beautiful prequel for the return of Canadian pianist, Janina Fialkowska, joining the orchestra to illuminate Beethoven’s iconic Piano Concerto No. 4 in G. The evening will close with Symphony No. 3 in G minor by mid-nineteenth century composer, Louise Farrenc. Serving as professor of composition at the Paris Conservatoire for over twenty years, her musical language is compelling, and steeped in the Romantic French tradition.
