Sir Stephen Hough plays Grieg

Sun Valley Pavilion 300 Dollar Rd, Sun Valley, Idaho, United States

Edvard Grieg wrote his Piano Concerto in A minor at the young age of 24, and itā€™s no wonder itā€™s his only oneā€“itā€™s about as close to perfection as a concerto can get. From the thunderous opening, to the many lyrical melodies in the first movement, the heartbreakingly beautiful second movement, and the joyful and thrilling third, itā€™s a tour de force from start to finish. The program opens with Gabriela Ortizā€™s AntrĆ³polis, a piece inspired by the music of Mexicoā€™s nightlife, rich with rhythms and melodies from bars, nightclubs, and dance halls.
