Event Description
COSETTE JUSTO VALDÉS (conductor)
JON KIMURA PARKER (piano)
J. Strauss Jr.: Emperor Waltz
Maria-Eduarda Mendes Martins: Vortex Cantabilis
Kodály: Dances of Galánta
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5 “Emperor”
The “Emperor Concerto” reigns among Beethoven’s greatest works, especially in the hands of returning piano soloist Jon Kimura Parker. VS also welcomes the recently enthroned Artistic Director of the Vancouver Island Symphony to lead this regal program. Along with music of Johann Strauss, we also recruit flashy and folksy Hungarian dances by Kodály, and the concert premiere of a contemporary Canadian work based on a 13th-century song by Alfonso X of Castile.
