Ioana Goicea & Diyang Mei & Nicolás Pasquet
ELEGANCE AND DRAMA IN VIENNA
This concert program brings together the elegance of Mozart with the powerful expressiveness of Beethoven, transporting the audience into the world of Viennese Classicism.
The evening begins with Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, Op. 62—a dramatic work inspired by Heinrich Joseph von Collin’s tragedy. The contrast between the stormy, tense chords and the lyrical, pleading themes portrays the protagonist’s struggle between duty and emotion, making this overture one of the composer’s most impactful orchestral works.
Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola, and Orchestra in E-flat Major, K. 364, is one of his most beautiful compositions for string instruments. In this brilliant dialogue between the violin and viola, virtuosity and lyrical depth merge into a harmonious whole, exquisitely balancing between symphony and concerto.
The concert concludes with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93. Often described as the composer’s most cheerful and playful symphony, it showcases his sense of humor. Despite its classical form, the work surprises with rhythmic innovations, sonic experiments, and captivating energy.
