The Daegu International Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra will give its 49th regular concert on Tuesday the 12th at 7:30 p.m. at the Suseong Artpia Grand Theater.
The program opens with Franz von Suppé’s buoyant Light Cavalry Overture. The orchestra will then present Rachmaninoff’s landmark Piano Concerto No. 2, featuring Vietnamese pianist Duc An Nguyen as soloist.
Pianist Duc An Nguyen graduated at the top of his class from the State University of Music in Freiburg, Germany, and has won awards at international competitions such as the Alkan–Zimmermann in Athens. He recently completed performances of the complete cycle of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, received an Artist of the Year award, and is regarded as a leading pianist in Southeast Asia’s classical music scene.
The concert will close with Nikolai Rimsky‑Korsakov’s symphonic suite Scheherazade. Based on One Thousand and One Nights, the work’s lavish orchestration and exotic violin lines transport listeners into a vivid, storylike world.
Jin Sol, the orchestra’s principal conductor, will lead the performance. A graduate of the Korea National University of Arts and the Mannheim University of Music in Germany, Jin performs actively at home and abroad and recently completed a project presenting Mahler’s complete symphonies, marking Jin as a standout of the next generation of conductors.
