Mozart, Concerto No. 20 in d minor (30”)
Sophia Lin, piano
Montgomery Variations, Margaret Bonds (24”)
Capital City Symphony continues its tradition of presenting outstanding young classical solo artists. We are thrilled to present Sophia Lin, 2024 winner of the Ylda Novik Memorial Concerto Competition on piano, performing Mozart, Concerto No. 20 in d minor.
As one young woman breathes new life into the future of music, we also remember powerful, promising young people who were robbed of breath far too soon. Composed in 1963, Margaret Bonds’ “Montgomery Variations” is a set of orchestral meditations on the spiritual “I Want Jesus to Walk with Me.” Each variation reflects on the Civil Rights Movement, serving as tributes to Martin Luther King Jr., to the pivotal citizens and events in Montgomery, Alabama, and to the deep undercurrent of faith in the march for justice.
