RENOWNED pianist and educator Dominique Merlet will join the Shanghai Oriental Symphony Orchestra in the "Immortal Brahms" concert conducted by Xu Zhong on March 31 at Shanghai Oriental Art Center.
Xu was a student of Merlet's when he entered the Paris Conservatory of Music at the age of 18.
The program features Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1 and Symphony No 2. This year is the 180th anniversary of Brahms' birth. The German composer is sometimes known as one of the "Three Bs," together with Bach and Beethoven.
The piano concerto was composed in 1858 when Brahms was very young, yet the work is mature with notable scale as well as technical difficulties. His Symphony No. 2 (1877) was quite pastoral in comparison with his other, more serious symphonic compositions.
The 75-year-old French pianist Merlet was born in Bordeaux. He has taught a handful of notable pianists, including Jean-Marc Luisada and Philippe Cassard.
Conductor Xu Zhong is the music director of Shanghai Oriental Symphony Orchestra.
Date: March 31, 7:30pm
Tickets: 80-680 yuan
Venue: Shanghai Oriental Art Center, 425 Dingxiang Rd
