Program Fanny Mendelssohn Overture in C major Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Concerto no 21 Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony no 4 Conductor and soloist Sunwook Kim Mozart's piano concertos hold a unique place in music history.

In his highly nuanced interpretation of this masterpiece, the French keyboard magician Bertrand Chamayou enchants the audience with breathtaking technical brilliance and great musical poetry.
