Vier Hände, Ein Klavier (Four Hands, One Piano)

Konzert mit Lina Park und Hyemin Kim

Werke von W.A. Mozart K521 & 550

Triestinggasse 63,
1210 Wien, Österreich (Vienna, Austria)

Pianist Hyemin Kim (Interlochen’s Collaborative Piano Faculty) and soprano Yeseul Choi (Voice Faculty at Gangwon National University, Sookmyung Women's University, Sungshin Women's University, and Sangmyeong University in South Korea) will present a recital titled "Women’s Love and Life." This program explores the emotional depth and complexity of women's experiences through music.

The recital opens with Antonio Vivaldi's aria “Sposa son disprezzata” from Bajazet, a powerful expression of heartache and betrayal, highlighting the vulnerability and pain of love. Robert Schumann’sFrauenliebe und Leben (A Woman’s Love and Life) takes us through the stages of a woman's emotional journey, from the innocence of first love to the grief of loss, capturing the joys and sorrows that define the female experience. The program also includes Fernando Obradors'Canciones Clásicas Españolas, a set of Spanish songs that convey the passion, sensuality, and intensity of romantic longing. Finally, the performance culminates in Sergei Rachmaninoff's evocative songs and piano works, including "Не пой красавица при мне" (Oh, Never Sing to Me Again) Op.4 No.4, which expresses the aching sorrow of a love lost; "Сон" (A Dream) Op.8 No.5, a hauntingly lyrical reflection on dreams and longing; and "Здесь хорошо" (How Fair This Spot) Op.21 No.7, which paints a serene image of beauty and tranquility, evoking a sense of peaceful contentment.

Location: Dendrinos Chapel/Recital Hall, Interlochen Arts Academy
