CHIMEI Music Festival 'Splendid Profundity: Brahms and His Time' Celebrating the Masterpieces of Brahms and Dvořák

Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1 is monumental in scale, with powerful breadth and profound emotional depth. Composed at only 25, it reveals astonishing early maturity and expressive depth. Dvořák, nurtured in Brahms’ tradition, fused Czech folk idioms with his own melodic gift. His Symphony No. 8 evokes a summer landscape, lyrical and free-flowing. Pianist Meng-Chieh LIU and a rising conductor bring fresh insight and anticipation.
