Classical music also has its time of ‘youth’. This concert specially presents three pieces of classical music representing ‘youth’ in various senses. The highlight of this concert falls on Czech composer Leoš Janáček’s Mladi (Youth) suite; Janáček composed this piece in his 70s, looking back at his youth, the memories and emotions must have over flown his work.

Duration: approximately 1 hour, no interval
