“Master Series Concert” of the Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestra: Friday May 9th

by daejonchico on May 8, 2008

At 7:30 PM at the Daejeon Performing Arts Center in Mannyeon-dong. (Closest places that taxi drivers know would be the Expo OfficeTel, Gold Venture Tower, SarAgChilk NaengMyan Restaurant, etc.)

Guest conductor: Jacques Mercier (France)
Violin soloist: Rodrigo Puskas (Hungary/USA)

Program:

Berlioz: Beatrice et Benedict Overture
Bartok: Violin concerto No.2 (Premier – first time performance in Daejeon)

INTERMISSION

Mussorgsky/Ravel: Pictures of an exhibition.

I will be the soloist for the Bartok Violin concerto, but will not be leading the rest as concertmaster this time. There might be an encore after the concerto: Saint-Saens: Introduction and Rondo capriccioso (a beautiful and virtuoso French piece for violin solo and orchestra.)

The orchestra’s website is: http://www.dpo.or.kr – you can find more information but I believe it is in Korean only.
