The Redlands Symphony will present an evening of music including
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony at 8 p.m. Saturday in the University of
Redlands Memorial Chapel.
Co Nguyen, the Redlands Symphony's assistant conductor, will conduct
the orchestra.
The concert begins with Mendlssohn's "Fingal's Cave," a musical
portrayal of the Hebrides Islands.
Pianist Sophia Ohanian, winner of the University of Redlands Concerto
Competition, will join the orchestra to perform Armenian composer
Aram Khachaturian's Piano Concerto.
The program concludes with Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.
Doors open at 7 p.m., and Nguyen will present a pre-concert talk
at 7:15.
"One of the Redlands Symphony Association's missions is to promote
and nurture talented young musicians," Nguyen said.
"Consistent with this goal, the Redlands Symphony Orchestra has
presented winners of the University of Redlands Concerto Competition
as guest soloists for many years. These performances offer unparalleled
opportunities for these young artists to perform with the full symphony
orchestra in the utmost professional concert setting," she said.
"I personally look forward to these performances every year, both as
a teacher at the School of Music and as an orchestral conductor."
Sophia Ohanian, originally from Los Angeles, is a junior at the
University of Redlands, pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree in piano
performance. She studies piano with Louanne Long at the University
of Redlands and is a recipient of the LeHigh Endowed Piano Scholarship.
She has recently won first prizes in the Armenian Allied Arts
Competition and the Inland Empire Piano Festival.
She began her studies at the Academy of Music and Fine Arts in Los
Angeles and later attended Charter High School of the Arts.
She said that because of her Armenian heritage, she has always
felt a deep affinity with the music of Aram Khachaturian, and this
performance with the Redlands Symphony Orchestra will fulfill her
dream of having the opportunity to perform Khachaturian's Piano
Concerto with an orchestra.
