A classical concert is on the schedule in San Diego, but the performance has a difference.
The San Diego Symphony will be playing the Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47, by Jean Sibelius, and the Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 44, by Sergei Rachmaninoff, in an upcoming performance. Sibelius's concerto is the only one he wrote, while Rachmaninoff composed his symphony during the time he was exiled from his native Russia in Switzerland and the United States.
Sibelius, a Finn, composed hundreds of works; among his best known are “Finlandia,” and the “Karelia Suite.” His music is played and enjoyed all over the world, and remains a staple in the classical repertoire. Rachmaninoff was a talented pianist, and wrote many more piano works than symphonies. His Symphony No. 3 is one of only five, and one of his most popular.
Audiences attending this concert have an additional treat in store, since commentator Nuvi Mehta will be giving a pre-concert talk “What's the Score?” In addition, the first composition on the program is “Spin-Flip” by Texu Kim, a Korean composer. Kim has delved into the connection between quantum physics and ping-pong, and set it to music that will be played by Nancy Zhou, who won the Shanghai Isaac Stern International Violin Competition in 2018.
The concert is scheduled for Friday, February 28, from 8:00 pm until 10:00 pm. Poster printing can be used to create attractive advertising for events like this.
