Robert Schumann

Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54. Movement 1

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Symphony No. 36 in C major, K. 425

MISORA OZAKI piano, ERSO, conductor HENRI CHRISTOFER AAVIK

Misora Ozaki was awarded the fourth prize and the ERSO Special Prize at the 2021 Tallinn International Piano Competition. This season, we are welcoming the young pianist back to Tallinn. Our own young conductor, Henri Christofer Aavik, will conduct an excerpt from Robert Schumann’s Concerto in A minor. Aavik has recently attracted attention in Europe by winning the first prize in the Jorma Panula Conducting Competition and the second prize in the Yevgeny Svetlanov International Conducting Competition. In fact, the young conductor has called Neeme Järvi, a long-time ERSO Chief Conductor, one of the most important role models in his conducting career. This concert will see a performance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No. 36.
