Concertgoers will enjoy an energetic evening listening to the passionate sounds of Beethoven. Artistic Director/Conductor Jung-Ho Pak will lead the Bay Philharmonic in two of Beethoven’s most beloved works—the rhythmically exciting “Seventh Symphony” and the virtuosic “Third Piano Concerto.” Guest soloist Charlie Albright promises to create dazzling moments on the spot—just like Beethoven did. Together, Pak and Albright explore the limitless possibilities and timeless relevance of music that remains very much alive today. Pak says, “This is not a symphony concert, but an opportunity to have a ridiculous amount of fun and joy!”
The Philadelphia Inquirer says Charlie Albright brings “the art of classical music improvisation to a new level,” and the Washington Post says that he is “among the most gifted musicians of his generation.” Described by The New York Times as a conductor who “radiates enthusiasm,” Jung-Ho Pak is known for his unique approach and vision for symphonic music. In concert, Albright, Pak, and the Bay Philharmonic will deliver a truly imaginative, unusually entertaining, and highly energetic show.
