Prelude to a Masterpiece
Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor
(Updated Sept. 18: The first performance will be Sunday, September 19 at 3pm in Brush Performance Hall, piano and string quartet. The full orchestra performance will be Sunday, October 10.)
The Alliance Symphony Orchestra, in collaboration with the University of Mount Union, is honored and excited to present Prelude to a Masterpiece: Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor. This is a personal musical journey of our resident pianist, Dr. Maira Liliestedt, professor of music in piano and music history at Mount Union.
About once a month through 2021, we will be posting a video blog from Maira. Blogs will contain recordings of Maira rehearsing excerpts from the concerto, musical analysis, interviews with other musicians, and more.
A chamber performance of the concerto accompanied by the Mount Union String Quartet is planned for early fall.
If conditions permit, Dr. Liliestedt will perform the concerto again, accompanied by full orchestra.
The first segment is now available: Prelude to a Masterpiece
