Aichi Chamber Orchestra The 102nd Regular Concert

Internationally acclaimed conductor John Axelrod, trained by Bernstein, will conduct the Aichi Chamber Orchestra. The first half of the concert will feature Yumeika Nakagawa, a pianist of the next generation who boasts a brilliant record including first prize at the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition, performing Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1. Her sensitive and poetic expression will bring out a new aspect of this masterpiece. The second half will be Mahler's Symphony No. 9. This time, the chamber orchestra version by Klaus Zimon will be used. This ambitious program is a must for music fans to hear how Mahler's late masterpiece, which touches the depths of life and death, will be reconstructed with the penetrating sound unique to chamber orchestration. We hope you will enjoy the new expression of the music through the precise and passionate ensemble, which is possible only with the Aichi Chamber Orchestra.
