Three Program Highlights at the Volkshaus
On October 8, the concert will bring together three distinct musical worlds at the Volkshaus, all linked by their immediate expressive power. The evening opens with Sergei Rachmaninoff’s third piano concerto, one of the most demanding and emotional works in the romantic repertoire. The internationally renowned Korean pianist William Youn, known for his poetic sound and fine sensitivity, has been engaged as the soloist.
The second composition on the program is Guillaume Connesson’s “Flammenschrift.” The work builds a bridge to the present day, serving both as a psychological portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven and as an homage to the German musical tradition. The evening concludes with Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s “Italian” Symphony, which takes the audience on a musical journey filled with Mediterranean brightness and rhythmic movement.
