Korean conductor Jae-Joon Lee takes over the conducting reins for the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra’s third concert of the season happening this November 11, 2011 8:00 PM at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (CCP Main Theater) at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Also featured in this concert is Vietnamese violinist Bùi Công Duy.

The pieces that are to be performed this evening are Johannes Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture, Op. 80, Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto in G minor, Op. 26 with Bùi Công Duy as the soloist and Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, Op. 14.

Maestro Jae-Joon Lee last performed at a PPO concert series a couple of years ago while it will be the first time for Bùi Công Duy to set on Philippine soil. It will be very interesting to hear the Bruch concert performed twice in a span of just a week. Thankfully, this is one violin concerto that I like and I don’t mind this arrangement at all. And in keeping with the epic theme of this concert season entitled Soundscapes, I was told that it’s the Berlioz that is the technically demanding piece for the concert.
