The Saturday concert had a Plaza-cast, hosted by Rich Capparela. I didn't actually see him, but I'm glad he's OK, as I haven't heard Rich since the last KUSC membership drive.
This performance will broadcast on KUSC on Sunday, July 31 at 7 PM (PST).
Listen to Alan Chapman's preview on SoundCloud.
Music director Carl St.Clair conducted with pianist André Watts.
Ludwig van Beethoven: Concerto No. 4 in G Major for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 58
Hector Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique, Op. 14
The preview talk has given by Alan Chapman again. André Watts join in the second half, sharing his experience with the Beethoven 4th. And his performance was awesome!! I loved the cadenza, and looking forward to listening again on the KUSC broadcast. :)
The hall itself was themed with opium Symphonie Fantastique, and you could participate in Berlioz's world.
I couldn't tell who these two were. Maybe the artist and his love?
Dancers from the ball.
The shepherd.
The executioner.
The witch.
