International superstar Yunchan Lim will make his San Diego debut performing the glorious Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 alongside the world-renowned London Symphony Orchestra led by Musical America’s 2024 Conductor of the Year Sir Antonio Pappano. The evening will conclude with the stirring Mahler First Symphony, considered one of the greatest first symphonies of all time.
Experience these two great works of the classical repertoire performed by exceptional musicians in the stunning, newly renovated Jacobs Music Center.
In 2022, Yunchan Lim became the youngest person ever to win gold at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition at the age of 18; his performances throughout showcased a “magical ability” and a “natural, instinctive quality” (La Scena) that astounded listeners around the world.
The London Symphony Orchestra, one of the most highly acclaimed orchestras in the world, thrills with this program of great classical works guaranteed under the leadership of Sir Antonio Pappano to showcase the tremendous talent of this piano star. This will be the LSO’s first US tour with Sir Anthony Pappano, and Pappano’s debut in San Diego.
Please note that due to demand, there is a six-ticket purchase limit.
This concert is also part of our WinterFest Gala. For gala ticket packages and information, please email Gala@TheConrad.org.
RACHMANINOFF
Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18
MAHLER
Symphony No. 1 in D Major “Titan”
“His touch was impossibly fine, transforming the keyboard into a gamut of exquisite tone colours. Each note was precious, each phrase crystalline.”— The Guardian
“Lim channelled bright, assured grandeur in the expansive first movement, but it was the buoyant beauty of his touch and the pure poetry of the time-stopping adagio that made his performance special.”— The Times
