Exceptional South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son has dazzled and delighted SCO audiences over the past couple of years with her exquisitely poetic playing and her exuberant enthusiasm. She is famed for her particularly meaningful insights in Mozart’s music, and she returns with two of the great composer’s most compelling concertos: the profoundly expressive No.21 and deeply dramatic No.24.

In between, SCO Principal Guest Conductor Andrew Manze guides you through one of music’s most fascinating creations. Every note tells a story in Anton Webern’s jewel-like 1928 Symphony, which distills all the expression and emotion of a larger work down to just a few, brief minutes.
