An afternoon full of sound experiences that will leave no listener unmoved. Our artist in residence , Yeol Eum Son, will perform the solo tonight in the very popular Second Piano Concerto by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. A special work that builds from a quiet solo to an energetic middle that radiates the joy of life, only to end in a whirlwind. Extra special: the composer put this piece on paper in just seventeen days.

The passionate Spanish Pablo González labels Son as one of his favorite pianists to work with. He also puts on his music stand a special repertoire from his homeland: the poetic and symphonic Liliana by Enrique Granados (incidentally recorded on CD by Gonzalez and his orchestra in Barcelona a few years ago). After the break we hear Sergei Rachmaninov's Last completed work: the Symphonic Dances . A lavish and exuberant work – with a kind of self-confidence that the usually reserved composer has not previously shown – that reflects on the course of his life.
