ShostakovichSymphony No. 9
Sibelius captured the heart of the Finnish people and the attention of the world with this evocative portrait of his native land; Strauss plumbed the depths of human emotion in these profoundly moving songs; and Shostakovich displayed in his ninth symphony an effervescent and witty spirit that had abandoned him during the dark war years. Experience the whole range of human emotion through these great works of “The Three S’s.”

Hanson Symphony No. 2 (“Romantic”)
Our romantic feast opens with a serenely poetic work of Sibelius in which the swan is represented by a hauntingly beautiful English Horn solo, continues with the Sibelius violin concerto played by guest artist Yang Liu, and concludes with a Sibelius-influenced symphony of Howard Hanson, a work so engagingly lyrical that one of its melodies became the “theme song” at the famed Interlochen Academy for the Arts.

Paul Juhn, piano
(Steinway Competition Winner)
Shostakovich Symphony No.1
Warm, tender and spirited music from America’s heartland is balanced by Shostakovich’s youthful and energetic first symphony. Well worth the price of admission on their own considerable merits, these works will serve as bookends for an annual Ars Viva highlight: the winner of the Steinway Concerto Competition in a dazzling performance of a favorite piano concerto.
Paul Juhn, age 16, attends Vernon Hills High School. He began playing the piano when he was four years old. He currently studies piano with Emilio del Rosario, cello with Blake Brasch, and chamber music with Mr. Hans Jensen at the Music Institute of Chicago. His former piano teacher was Dr. Soo Lee at the Music Institute of Chicago. He won prizes at many competitions including CAMTA, the North Shore Music Teachers Association, the Illinois Music Teacher’s Association, and the Granquist Music competition. He has placed first in the Primary, Junior, Intermediate, and Senior division of the Society of American Music competition and was the alternate in the MTNA Junior competition in 2004. In 1998, he was the youngest winner in the piano division of the Midwest Young Artists Concerto competition and an overall win at the 2003 Walgreens Concerto competition. Paul has won first place in both the junior (2005) and senior (2007) divisions of the Sejong Music Competition and was a finalist in the CSO Youth Auditions. He has given many public performances, including the Young Steinway Series at the Skokie Public Library (2001) and on WNIB radio station as one of “Chicago’s Most Promising Student Pianists”. Recently, Paul performed at a Gala Celebration for the Music Institute of Chicago and in the “East meets West” series with Korean themes. This February, Paul made his orchestra debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra playing the Carnival of Animals. In March, he will play in the “Music in the Loft” Series.
