Park University's Music Orchestra to Kickoff 2021-22 Season with Inaugural Concert on October 1.
The Park University International Center for Music (ICM) Orchestra is set to commence their 2021-22 season with an enchanting concert on Friday, Oct. 1, at 8 p.m. The event will take place inside the Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel on the University's Parkville Campus.
Pianist Kyoshiro Hirama, a 2020 Park ICM graduate and current ICM graduate student pursuing a Master of Music in Performance degree, will be the featured soloist. He will perform Ludwig van Beethoven's "Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor," a piece that illustrates the many impressions of conflict that occurred in Vienna, Austria, during the Napoleonic Wars.
The ICM Orchestra will be conducted by Filippo Ciabatti, D.M.A., director of the Dartmouth (College) Symphony Orchestra. Ciabatti has selected three familiar works for the program, including "The Hebrides" (also known as "Fingal's Cave") composed by Felix Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn wrote this work to evoke impressions of the coast of Scotland.
The concert will also feature Mendelssohn's overture and conclude with "Symphony No. 38 in D Major (K. 504)" composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, popularly known as the "Prague Symphony." This work was written for Mozart's return visit to the city where his opera, The Marriage of Figaro, had been enthusiastically received.
Admission to the concert is free, but reservations are required. You can make your reservation by emailing Gus Fernandez Agreda at [gfernandezagreda@our website]. Masks are required and social distance seating will be implemented during the concert.
