YEKWON SUNWOO AND ERSO CHAMBER MUSICIANS

Programme

Joseph Haydn
Piano Trio in C major, Hob. XV:25

César Franck
Piano Quintet in F minor

In the cozy hall of MUBA, pianist Yekwon Sunwoo performs alongside musicians from ERSO. The program includes Joseph Haydn’s Trio in C major, characterized by its virtuoso and dominant piano part. However, the centerpiece of the evening is César Franck’s monumental Piano Quintet, one of the composer’s most significant works. Due to its dramatic development and intense emotionality, it has often been called a “chamber symphony”. The career of South Korean pianist Yekwon Sunwoo gained massive momentum after his victory at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2017. He is considered a peerless interpreter of Romantic music.
