Program
Inspired by Leonard Bernstein’s classic question, "Who is more important, the pianist or the orchestra?", this concert dramatizes the relationship between the two. Hyung-ki Joo explores how composers have positioned the piano as both a rival and an ally to the orchestra over time. Lasting approximately two hours, including an intermission, the show is designed to be both educational and entertaining. It is suitable for audiences aged three and above.
