Haydn’s The Creation

“And there was light!” Franz Josef Haydn’s oratorio, The Creation, presents the radiant vision of creation found in Genesis. Featuring the Festival Orchestra, Festival Chorus and Soloists, Haydn’s music explores the full spectrum of human emotions with melodic inventiveness, grandeur, and majesty. This choral masterpiece is a timely reminder that we can all live in harmony with nature.

HAYDN: The Creation

Haochen Zhang, Piano Soloist

In 1958, the young American pianist Van Cliburn electrified the global music scene by winning the inaugural International Tchaikovsky Competition. To claim the coveted prize, Van Cliburn performed the Russian master’s Piano Concerto No. 1. For his highly anticipated Musicfest debut, Haochen Zhang (2009 Van Cliburn Competition Gold Medalist) will join the Festival Orchestra to perform this same work, a pillar of the repertory. The concert begins with Maestro Robert Moody and the Festival Orchestra performing the lyrical, optimistic Symphony No. 2 by Brahms.

Jonathan Okseniuk, a distinguished alumnus of Musicfest’s acclaimed Young Musicians Programs is featured soloist in Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4.

先の交響曲第1番「アークエンジェルズ」が大ヒット驀進中のスイスの作曲家フランコ・チェザリー二の最新作、交響曲第2番「江戸の情景」（作品54）の公式日本初演が、6月14日（金）、杉並公会堂（東京）で開催される「TADウインドシンフォニー第26回定期演奏会」で行われる。

指揮は、「アークエンジェルズ」の日本初演も手がけたTAD音楽監督の鈴木孝佳（タッド鈴木）。

作品は、歌川広重の「名所江戸百景」の5枚の浮世絵にインスパイアーされて書かれ、5楽章構成、演奏時間40分強の力のこもった作品となっている。世界初演は、2018年12月にスイスで行われた。

「アークエンジェルズ」のときと同様、コラボレーションのため、作曲者の来日も計画されている！
