SAINT PAUL, MN (JANUARY 13, 2023) — Jonathan Biss returns to the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra for three performances on February 10-12, playing the U.S. premiere of Brett Dean’s Piano Concerto Gneixendorfer Musik – Eine Winterreise (Gneixendorf Music–A Winter’s Journey) under conductor Francesco Lecce-Chong. Co-commissioned by the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the piece is the final chapter of Biss’ Beethoven/5 project, for which he commissioned prominent composers to write a piece in response to each of Beethoven’s five concertos. Dean's concerto was inspired by Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-Flat Major, Op. 73 “Emperor,” which Biss will also perform.
