Piano Festival 2020 - rerun

In the closing concert, the Jerusalem Symphonic Orchestra returns to the stage under the baton of conductor and composer Ziv Cojocaru. At its core will be Beethoven's famous Fifth Piano Concerto ("Emperor Concerto") played by Tomer Lev, one of the most prominent Israeli pianists and pedagogues. The program will also feature the overture of Goethe's play "Egmont", which like the Fidelio overture, hails the ideals of freedom and solidarity. Pianist Dorel Golan, a favorite of the festival audience, returns to its stage, this time with a rarely performed work: The Choral Fantasy for piano, soloists, choir, and orchestra – a hymn to music, an exciting prayer, actually an early version of the Ninth Symphony's "Ode to Joy."
