Events Description
Renowned Japanese-American violinist Shunske Sato makes his Tafelmusik debut directing with music by Ludwig van Beethoven and Joseph Bologne. Concertmaster of Concerto Köln and former Artistic Leader of the Netherlands Bach Society, Sato is known for performances that push the envelope and “dig deeper into his instrument” (Gramophone).
Leading the orchestra from the violin, Sato directs Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, “Eroica,” a work that profoundly changed the symphonic form while staying true to the composer’s ethos.
Throughout his life, the influential Black 18th-century composer Joseph Bologne confronted enormous adversities around class and race, and eventually rose to the pinnacle of Parisian society to become one of France’s heroes.
Sato’s “phenomenal technique and effortless and light touch” (Stanford Daily) will serve him well in Bologne’s stunning Violin Concerto op. 3, no. 2, a work that challenges even the most seasoned soloists with its virtuosic demands.
