Classical Concert III: THE LEIPZIG CONNECTION

This program highlights the three most central composers in the musical life of Leipzig, Germany. The concert opens with Schumann’s lively Manfred Overture followed by Mendelssohn’s popular Violin Concerto performed by Concertmaster Yi Zhao. The second half is all Bach, including an arrangement of the Toccata and Fugue (famous from Fantasia) and Orchestral Suite No. 3 (with Air on the G String).

Born in Henan, China, Sunriver Music Festival Concertmaster Yi Zhao joined the Colorado Symphony as Assistant Concertmaster in 2014. Since joining the Symphony, Zhao has taken active roles to enrich the musical culture of Colorado, performing as a solo artist with regional orchestras and frequently featured as chamber musician. She also performs with the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra in the summers.
