Beethoven’s Emperor by Fung, Beethoven, Sibelius, Od (2024/2024), Dirigent David Lockington, Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo, United States

Cross-border collaboration comes to Kleinhans when Canadian pianist Stewart Goodyear returns to perform Beethoven’s heroic “Emperor” Piano Concerto No. 5 under the baton of conductor David Lockington, while Prayer by JUNO Award-winner Vivian Fung is an affirmation of faith. The Second Symphony of Sibelius is fierce and triumphant, itself a source of Finnish pride.
