Einav Yarden Performs Rarely Heard 1939 Viktor Ullmann Concerto, including West Coast Premiere

Pianist Einav Yarden joins the Rockford (IL) Symphony February 10 for a performance of the rarely heard 1939 piano concerto by Viktor Ullmann, which has only been performed twice in the US. Viktor Ullmann and the pianist for whom he wrote the concerto were killed during the Holocaust, so the work was never performed as intended in the composer’s lifetime. Einav then travels to Washington state with the Bellingham Symphony to give the West Coast premiere of this work on February 25. Both performances are conducted by Yaniv Attar.
