Rogue Valley Symphony

Masterworks 5

Featuring Joyce Yang, piano

Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 stands as one of the grandest works in the concerto repertoire, combining power, scale, and lyricism. Expansive in scope and demanding for the soloist, it reflects a bold and confident artistic voice. The “Emperor” title, though not Beethoven’s own, has come to define its stature. Nielsen’s Symphony No. 5 follows with a work of striking originality and intensity. Known for its dramatic contrasts and driving energy, the symphony unfolds with a sense of unpredictability and force that continues to captivate audiences.
