Klavierwerke zum 150. Geburtstag von Maurice Ravel

In the organizer's words:

For Maurice Ravel, the piano was the central medium of his musical language - a gateway to a world of tonal colors, the finest structure and mysterious poetry. The year 2025 marks the 150th anniversary of his birth - a worthy occasion for a special concert. The South Korean pianist YongKyu Lee, who lives in Krefeld, has performed Ravel's complete piano works many times. Many of these works have been part of his most important repertoire for years. His interpretations are considered to be particularly "Ravel-appropriate" - with an intuitive depth in a well thought-out structure, almost as if on the same wavelength as the composer. A central work of the afternoon comes from the cycle "Miroirs" (Mirrors) - impressionistic sound images full of inner movement and floating colors. Lee will not only play excerpts from it, but also share background information about the work and his personal connection to Ravel with the audience. Even at a young age, YongKyu Lee was supported and awarded scholarships by great artistic personalities such as Lorin Maazel, Alexis Weissenberg and Myung-Whun Chung. Following international competition successes, he worked as a professor and juror - including at the upcoming International Piano Competition in Ettlingen.
