The Gangnam Symphony Orchestra's 118th subscription concert delivers piercing human drama and the timeless energy of the classics. The evening opens with Wagner's Prelude to "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg." Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 1 — among the most gripping concertos of the 20th century — follows, with cellist Sim Jun-ho tracing its fierce tension and delicate lyricism through deep interpretation and commanding technique.
