Dvořák • Prokofiev
Meet our 2023 Young Artist, Hans-Derek Yu, who performs Prokofiev's electrifying Piano Concerto #3 with JSO upon winning our Young Artist Competition. Led by Colorado conductor Scott O'Neil, the program also features the Eighth Symphony by Dvořák. In this symphony, the composer uses the orchestra to depict bird calls, a passing storm, rousing folk dances, and gentle breezes — it's sheer joy!

Márquez • Brahms • Beethoven
Beethoven considered the Seventh Symphony his "most excellent symphony." The slow movement, perhaps the most enthralling, has had a profound impression on listeners from the beginning — it's simply irresistible! Our season finale, led by conductor Cynthia Katsarelis, also spotlights Colorado artist Alex Gonzalez performing Brahms' captivating Violin Concerto.
