[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Lotte Concert Hall announced on the 23rd that it will present the first series stage of cellist Moon Taeguk and pianist Shin Changyong, who were selected as 'In-House Artists.'

The 'In-House Artist Series,' introduced by Lotte Concert Hall since last year, is a program that selects performers who pursue musical capability and their own performance philosophy, meeting audiences through various attempts.

The first stage will be led by Moon Taeguk. In the performance on March 18 at 8 PM, he will perform Grieg's 'Sonata for Cello and Piano in A minor,' Webern's 'Three Pieces for Cello and Piano,' Strauss's early work 'Cello Sonata in F major,' Bart?k's 'Romanian Folk Dances,' and Dohn?nyi's 'Cello Sonata in B-flat minor.' The piano accompaniment will be by Park Jonghae.

Moon Taeguk said, "Compared to the repertoire I have performed so far, I wanted to challenge myself more and play many somewhat unfamiliar pieces that audiences do not usually hear often," adding, "I carefully selected pieces to personally show the hidden charm of the cello."

Shin Changyong will perform on March 28, presenting Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 and Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2 with conductor Cha Woong and the Seongnam City Symphony Orchestra, taking on the challenge of performing two piano concertos in one day.

Shin Changyong said, "Both pieces are known to have been composed during difficult times for the composers, and in that sense, the deep pain and inner emotions of the composers are more prominently expressed," adding, "I selected Mozart's well-known No. 20 and the contrasting Prokofiev No. 2 to highlight the contrasting emotions conveyed by the two concertos."

Shin Changyong will meet audiences live on Lotte Concert Hall's Instagram channel at 12:30 PM on the 24th, and Moon Taeguk will do the same at 6 PM on March 3, sharing various stories from their performances to their daily lives as musicians.
