The number "one" always carries a special meaning. The 185th Gangnam Matinee Concert, "Still My No. 1," celebrates the enduring value of classical music through the very first symphonies of Mozart and Beethoven, alongside Saint-Saëns' ever-beloved Cello Concerto No. 1.
Pianist Julius-Jeongwon Kim leads the morning as host artist, with conductor Lee Tam-gu on the podium with the Gangnam Symphony Orchestra. Cellist Hong Jin-ho joins as soloist for the Saint-Saëns concerto, bringing refined expression and a warm tone.
