AYŞEGÜL SARICA MEMORIAL CONCERT

Concert


Conductor: Alessandro Bonato
Soloist: Gülsin Onay, piano

Program:
R. Schumann Piano Concerto in A minor Op. 54
Intermezzo
R. Schumann Symphony No. 2 in C Major Op. 61

This week's concert is dedicated to Ayşegül Sarıca, one of our country's distinguished pianists, whose life is adorned with artistic achievements and crowned with valuable works and awards. Our repertoire is devoted to the works of Robert Schumann, who, although he wanted to be a piano virtuoso, lost this opportunity due to an injury but still gifted the piano repertoire with unique compositions. First, we will have the pleasure of listening to Schumann's First Piano Concerto, interpreted by our esteemed pianist Gülsin Onay, who represents our country successfully around the world and which was the last piece performed by Ayşegül Sarıca with our orchestra. In the second part of our concert, our orchestra conducted by Alessandro Bonato will perform the composer's Second Symphony, composed during a physically and mentally challenging period due to the sorrows he experienced.
