“Inner Light” – Pianist Kyung-A Lee joins Maestro Neil Barlow and Orillia Silver Band for a one-of-a-kind event. Music featured in the concert showcase the incomparable inner light of composers from several cultures over several centuries.
As a concert piano soloist, Kyung-A Lee delights audiences with such diverse offerings as The Lark from Mikail Glinka, the “Revolutionary” Etude and the Scherzo No. 2 in Bb minor by Frederic Chopin and the Prelude in G minor Op. 23 No. 5 by Sergei Rachmaninoff.
During the concert, Ms. Lee is joined by two outstanding woodwind soloists from the Orillia Silver Band – with Karen Richards performing on flute and Kim Barlow playing the clarinet. Together as a trio ensemble, these wonderful performers will offer a soul-stirring version of Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy and the riveting Rhapsody on Carmen by Michael Webster (based on themes from Bizet’s opera “Carmen”).
The Orillia Silver Band has two wonderful works for band to offer during the concert as well - Prelude on Tallis by Peter Graham is a sparkling interpretation of a famous theme by Renaissance composer Thomas Tallis, and the Little Suite for Brass Op. 80 by British composer Malcolm Arnold is a seminal 20th Century composition created specifically for brass band.
Finally, Kyung-A Lee and the Orillia Silver Band team up together to provide the showcase jewel of the entire concert: the Piano Concerto No. 2 in F major Op. 102 by Dimitri Shostakovich, with accompaniment for brass band arranged by our own Neil Barlow. This monumental work by Russia’s most renowned composer from the 20th Century is sure to inspire and enthrall the listener.
