Proclaimed “a phenomenon” and “one of the best pianists of his generation”, Canadian pianist Stewart Goodyear joins the WCO to perform Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27 in B flat. The concert opens with the US Premiere of Christopher Blake’s “Night Journey to Pawarenga”. It is the second of four works comprising an award-winning suite for string orchestra commissioned by Maestro Sewell. Each work of the suite is based on images in the photo essay A Journey by renowned New Zealand photographer Robin Morrison. Night Journey to Pawarenga is inspired by a striking image of the small church of St Gabriel at Pawarenga, Whangape Harbour in Northland, New Zealand. Closing the concert is Stravinsky’s “Pulcinella Suite”, which the composer himself referred to as his “discovery of the past, the epiphany through which the whole of my late work became possible.”
Join us for the pre-concert talk in the Wisconsin Studio at Overture Center at 6:30 PM. Get closer to the music with insights from Maestro Andrew Sewell, conducting fellow Daewon Kang, and guest pianist Stewart Goodyear. This event is free and open to ticketholders.
