Hakobyan will conduct Pegasus: the Orchestra’s season finale in a program that takes the listener through a “Journey of American Music.” The evening will include the stunning Piano Concerto of Amy Beach performed by celebrated pianist Asiya Korepanova. This rarely performed masterpiece was premiered by Boston Symphony with the composer herself at the piano in 1900.
Following a brief intermission, Hakobyan will conclude the concert with Antonin Dvoraks’ great Symphony No. 9 in E minor, “From the New World,” Op. 95 (1893). The symphony was premiered by the New York Philharmonic in 1893 at Carnegie Hall.
