Heejeong Jeong, bassoon
BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 6 ("Pastorale")

Featuring “Pastorale” art works by local student and adult artists.

Experience an evening of timeless classical music with the Atlantic Symphony Orchestra at Thayer’s Center for the Arts. Join us for two audience favorites by Mozart and Beethoven, plus a piece highlighting one of the most extraordinary instruments of the orchestra—the bassoon.

Mozart's Overture from The Abduction from Seraglio is upbeat and fun, evoking a carefree freedom and peace. His Bassoon Concerto continues that theme of joy and cheer. It is an extraordinary piece giving the spotlight to an instrument rarely heard solo in today's classical repertoire, and we are excited to welcome Heejeong Jeong for the first time. Jeong won the New England Conservatory's Concerto Competition last year with this same piece and is quickly creating a name for herself internationally. We are honored to present her to our audiences. The final piece of the evening, Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 completes our pastoral theme, using the instruments of the orchestra to evoke the peaceful sounds of nature.

Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the lyrical, rich sounds of ASO's musicians playing the music of Mozart and Beethoven, plus an auspicious solo bassoon debut.
