Borrani & Zahharenkova by Beethoven, Schubert, jue. 28 nov 2024, De (2024/2024), Director Lorenza Borrani, Espoo Cultural Centre (Espoon kulttuurikeskus), Espoo, Finlandia

Estonian pianist Irina Zahharenkova is Tapiola Sinfonietta's artist-in-residence for the 2024–25 season. Zahharenkova, who currently lives in Finland, collected a large pot from international piano competitions in the early 2000s. In this concert, he starts from the beginning of the series of Beethoven's piano concertos, i.e. the first piano concerto in C major. Schubert's fourth symphony is composed in the key of Beethoven's "fate", i.e. C minor. The work of the 18-year-old composer was later given the additional name "Tragic" and Mozart's g minor symphony and Beethoven's c minor symphony have served as a model for intense emotions. Lorenza Borrani wanted to be a trumpet player at the age of five because she had seen elephants play them in a Disney movie. Instead, he became a violinist and from 2008 concertmaster of the European Chamber Orchestra.
