Summary: Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO Oct 10-12. The sensational young Korean pianist Sunwook Kim, acclaimed for his "ability to shift from fantasy to fireworks and back in a gasp" (The News, Portsmouth), makes his CSO debut with two vivacious works by Mendelssohn—the glittering Piano Concerto No. 1 and virtuosic Capriccio brillant. Ukrainian conductor Kirill Karabits, in his CSO subscription series debut, leads Lutoslawski's melodic, folklore-inspired Concerto for Orchestra.
