About this event
The program is titled "Bridge to the Romantic Era" and is presented as a two-work recital for cello and piano. Cellist Paul Tseng and pianist Ching-Ming Cheng examine the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras through Beethoven's early Sonata No. 2 and Saint-Saens' Sonata No. 1. The production is a concert pairing rather than a staged theatrical work, with no director, scenic design, costume design, lighting design, choreography, staging concept, or production-specific visual treatment stated. The artistic structure is chronological and comparative: Beethoven represents the Classical tradition at a point of expansion, while Saint-Saens revisits Beethovenian dramatic language from the later Romantic period.
