►[ House Program ] Jun MÄRKL, Jean-Yves THIBAUDET & NSO
The concert program includes two works deeply inspired by the composers' travels. C. SAINT-SAËNS: Piano Concerto No. 5 in F major, Op.103 weaves a rich blend of Egyptian exoticism into refined French musical styles, creating a vibrant, melodic portrait of Cairo. J. BRAHMS: Symphony No.2, Op,73 employs subtle orchestral techniques to depict the serene and picturesque landscapes of Wörthersee, bringing to life scenes reminiscent of world-famous paintings through the music. Jun MÄRKL and Jean-Yves THIBAUDET anticipate delivering a performance at the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts that resonates with profound beauty and energy, echoing through their exquisite musical collaboration.

Artists Introduction
Music Director｜Jun MÄRKL
Jun MÄRKL is a highly respected interpreter of the core German repertory, and has become known for his refined and idiomatic explorations of the French Impressionists. He currently serves as Music Director of the Taiwan Philharmonic (the National Symphony Orchestra), and Principal Guest Conductor of the Residentie Orkest of The Hague. He has also recently been appointed Artistic Advisor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the Oregon Symphony in the United States. His long-standing relationships with the state operas of Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Semperoper Dresden and the Metropolitan Opera New York have been complemented by his music directorships of the Orchestre National de Lyon, the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Basque National Orchestra. In recognition of his achievements in France, he was honored in 2012 with the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
Born in Munich, MÄRKL won the conducting competition of the Deutscher Musikrat in 1986 and studied at Tanglewood with Leonard BERNSTEIN and Seiji OZAWA. Soon afterwards, he appeared in opera houses throughout Europe, Japan and USA followed by his first music directorships at the Staatstheater Saarbrücken and the Nationaltheater Mannheim.
Piano｜Jean-Yves THIBAUDET
Through elegant musicality and an insightful approach to contemporary and established repertoire, Jean-Yves THIBAUDET has earned a reputation as one of the world’s finest pianists. He is especially known for his diverse interests beyond the classical world, including numerous collaborations in film, fashion, and visual art. A prolific recording artist, Thibaudet appears on more than 70 albums and six film scores. He is a devoted educator, and is the first-ever Artist-in-Residence at the Colburn School, which awards several scholarships in his name.
THIBAUDET appears as soloist in seven compositions this season, performed with nineteen orchestras: GERSHWIN's Concerto in F Major, SAINT-SAËNS's Piano Concerto No. 5, KHACHATURIAN's Piano Concerto, RAVEL's Concerto in G Major, DEBUSSY's Fantaisie, MESSIAEN's Turangalîla-Symphonie, and Scriabin's Prometheus. He also continues his multi-season focus on DEBUSSY's Préludes, performing both books in recitals throughout Europe. With Michael FEINSTEIN, he continues the acclaimed program Two Pianos: Who Could Ask for Anything More? this season, presenting works by GERSHWIN, RODGERS, and more in new arrangements for piano, voice, and orchestra.
THIBAUDET records exclusively for Decca. His most recent solo album, 2021's Carte Blanche, features a collection of deeply personal solo piano pieces never before recorded by the pianist. Other highlights from THIBAUDET's catalog include a 2017 recording of BERNSTEIN's "Age of Anxiety," recordings of the complete solo piano music of DEBUSSY and SATIE, and Grammy-nominated recordings of RAVEL's complete solo piano works and SAINT-SAËNS's Piano Concerti Nos. 2&5. He is the soloist on Wes ANDERSON's The French Dispatch; his playing can also be heard in Pride and Prejudice, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Wakefield, and the Oscar-winning and critically acclaimed film Atonement. His concert wardrobe is designed by Dame Vivienne Westwood.
