The Princeton University Orchestra presents its first concert of the 2022-23 season in a program featuring senior pianist Kyrie McIntosh ’23, winner of last year’s Concerto Competition, in Chopin’s beloved and virtuosic first piano concerto. The concert will also include Mussorgsky’s beloved Pictures at an Exhibition, a suite originally composed for piano of musical miniatures inspired by Victor Hartmann’s watercolors.

“[The second movement of the concerto] is intended to convey the impression one receives when the eye rests on a beloved landscape that calls up in one’s soul beautiful memories – for instance, on a fine, moonlit spring night.”

— Frédéric Chopin

Frédéric Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11
