This concert is a journey through voice and vision.

The first half explores the human voice itself — not as sound, but as presence.

We begin with Scarlatti, where the voice is discovered through gesture and aria: a voice that breathes, sings, and exists without needing to explain itself.

At the center of the program stands Beethoven’s late Piano Sonata, Op. 110.

Here, the voice is tested. It falters, breaks, and momentarily disappears. Structure attempts to replace it — and fails. What emerges is not triumph or redemption, but continuity. The music does not declare “I won.” It simply says: “I remain.”

In the second half, we turn toward vision.

In Pictures at an Exhibition, Mussorgsky enters a world shaped by memory and loss — a vision born from the images left behind by a friend who has passed away. Castles, witches, gnomes, and vast gates appear, not as spectacle, but as imagination made audible.

You are invited to join this journey:

to sing,

to grieve,

to see,

and to imagine.
