Pianist Asiya Korepanova and conductor Zoe Zeniodi bring Amy Beach’s great Piano Concerto in C-sharp minor (op.45) to life on Saturday March 7. The concert takes place in the historic Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, one of the great classical music venues of the world! Despite the Concerto being dedicated to the Venezuelan pianist Teresa Carreño, it has never been performed Argentina, nor (to our knowledge) in South America before! Please let us know if we are wrong (at info@wophil.org). So this is an exciting premiere! The program also includes Marianna Martines Sinfonia, and R. Schumann’s Symphony n. 1.
On Oct. 17, Idaho Falls Symphony performs Amy Beach’s monumental and exciting Piano Concerto in C-sharp minor, op. 45. The soloist is Kara Huber (“Absolutely dazzling…in a word, flawless.
