Grieg Piano Concerto
Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5
The Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, composed by Edvard Grieg in 1868, was the only concerto Grieg completed. It is one of his most popular works and is among the most popular of the genre. Grieg, being only 24 years old at the time of the composition, had taken inspiration from Robert Schumann's only concerto, also being in A minor.
Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony demonstrates how convincingly he could create a large-scale symphonic work of complete technical assurance and structural equilibrium, yet wholly his own expression.
Pianist Jon Kimura Parker is known for his charisma, enthusiasm, and dynamic performances. A veteran of the international concert stage, he has performed regularly in the Berlin Philharmonie, Carnegie Hall, London's South Bank, the Sydney Opera House and the Beijing Concert Hall. He is the Creative Partner of the Minnesota Orchestra, Artistic Director of the Honens International Piano Competition, and Artistic Advisor for the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival.
