About this Event
The evening opens with the driving rhythms and bold colours of Pjetër Gaci Ibrahimi’s Valle Epike, a work that pulses with folk-inspired energy and Albanian spirit. Canadian pianist Libby Yu* then takes the stage for Tchaikovsky’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 1, a romantic tour de force filled with soaring melodies, thunderous chords, and dazzling virtuosity. The program closes with Shostakovich’s Suite from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, a vivid, biting, and darkly humorous portrait of human drama, brimming with the composer’s signature intensity and theatrical flair.
Program:
Ibrahimi: Valle Epike
Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B♭ minor, Op. 23*
Shostakovich: Suite "Lady Macbeth from Mtzensk"
