Summer : MetSO Young Artist (MYA) Concert Series 2023 : "Power & Passion"
MetSO Young Artists 2023
Conductor
LtoR Izaak Wesson, City of Stirling Councillor Stephanie Proud JP & Alexander Chua
The power of music to change the world, and the passions that it inspires, are why so many have tried to control the fires of the artistic souls that create it. In this concert experience the power and the passion of 2 great artists – Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky, who in their time were both applauded and denounced – but definitely left the world an infinitely richer place for their musical gifts to us all.
Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No 3 was masterfully brought to life by the brilliant Alexander Chua. Alexander is a longtime student of renowned concert pianist/educator, and Perth Music Icon Mark Coughlan.
Also on the program, Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony – the Passionate / Emotional (Pateticheskaya), with its achingly beautiful melodies and exotic waltz in 5/4 time!
MetSO welcomed back to our podium the dynamic Izaak Wesson, who thoughtfully crafted this powerful and passionate musical experience for our dear audience.
