SUMMARY:Ones to Watch Series: Concerto Prizewinner Showcase – Unfinished Business
DESCRIPTION:“Through whirling clouds\, waltzing couples may be faintly distinguished. The clouds gradually scatter… an immense hall peopled with a whirling crowd…” – Maurice Ravel\, Preface to La Valse  \nIn splendidly chandeliered halls where no vestige of shadow exists\, the waltz presides; it is an excuse for wickedly transgressive intimacy\, a promise of reveries. The waltz\, with its intoxicating and ensnaring circularity\, is also the perfect guise for time’s ravages. In the words of Maurice Ravel: “This dance may seem tragic\, like any other emotion – voluptuousness\, joy – pushed to the extreme.”  \nIf Schubert’s Symphony No. 7 “Unfinished” captured the golden moment of European Romanticism at its height\, a hundred years later\, Ravel’s 1920 La valse met with a world making sense amidst shambles and destruction of the “Great War”; opulence made carcasses by shadows that even the most impressive illuminations could not chase away. Caught at the crossfire of change (and another World War)\, Korngold\, and the world he inhabited\, grappled with the tragedies and triumphs of humanity’s folly-filled search for its better angels.  \nThis is music of ‘unfinished business’; the unfinished works\, unfinished stories\, unfinished pursuits of peace. Come join us for this concert featuring the YST Orchestral Institute\, as well as YST Concerto Competition prizewinner violinist Tsao Wei-Chun (BMus3) who will perform Korngold’s Violin Concerto.  \nSupported by the Shaw Foundation Ones to Watch series. \n   \n  \nPROGRAMME \nOrchestral Institute with Jason Lai\, Conductor Tsao Wei-Chun (BMus3)\, Violin  \nFRANZ SCHUBERT Symphony No. 7 in B Minor D. 759 “Unfinished” \n– 15 minutes intermission – \nERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD Violin Concerto in D Major\, Op. 35  \nMAURICE RAVEL La valse\, A Choreographic Poem   \n  \nTICKETING INFORMATION  \nTickets at $5-10 via yst.eventbrite.com.  \nOut of respect for the participants and other spectators\, no children under 6 years of age will be allowed admission.  \nSubscribe to YST’s mailing list here.
