SUBSCRIPTION CONCERT
SERENADE WITH SOYOUNG YOON IN PRAISE OF LOVE Muse over five musical statements of love in Bernstein’s Serenade – a violin concerto in all but name – with multiple award-winning Korean violinist Soyoung Yoon. Returning Polish conductor Michal Nesterowicz shows us the beautiful craftsmanship of two masterworks: his countryman Górecki’s serene Three Pieces in Old Style; and Beethoven’s Eighth, whose zest and sunny energy hinted little at his increasing deafness.
