Prague Philharmonia with Sarah Chang

Presented by EJ Thomas Hall (UA Events) - The University of Akron at EJ Thomas Performing Arts Hall - University of Akron

 

Beloved for its characteristic sound, created in large part by the key focus of its repertoire: Viennese Classicism, violinist Sarah Chang joins The PKF – Prague Philharmonia, to impress with technical virtuosity and refined emotional depth.
The PKF – Prague Philharmonia, under the direction of the distinguished French conductor Emmanuel Villaume, is beloved for its characteristic sound, created in large part by the key focus of its repertoire: Viennese Classicism, pieces by Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven. This area is the ensemble’s primary domain, and an area at which it excels.

The spirit of the art from this historical period is perfectly reflected in the PKF – Prague Philharmonia credo: to play with crystal-clear purity and a straightforward, sparkling passion that will ensure that every listener, regardless of age or profession, may understand every detail of the music performed and return home from its concerts full of joie de vivre. The art presented by the PKF – Prague Philharmonia is both exceptional and accessible to everyone. Prague Philharmonia has joined the ranks of the most respected Czech orchestras and established great renown in Europe and elsewhere in the world.

Recognized as one of the foremost violinists of our time, Sarah Chang has performed with the most esteemed orchestras, conductors, and accompanists in an international career spanning more than two decades. Since her debut with the New York Philharmonic at the age of eight, Ms. Chang has continued to impress audiences with her technical virtuosity and refined emotional depth.
