Slavic Tributes April 28, 2012, 8 p.m. Conant Performing Arts Center, Oglethorpe University At a special 8 p.m. time at Oglethorpe University, we close our 11th season with an evening of Slavic Tributes, featuring the winners at the Virtuoso Level of our Young Artists Concerto Competition. Arlene Chung will 
perform the first movement of Sergei Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2, written in 1935 for French violinist Robert Soetens. Yuhong Tu performs Polish composer Henri Wieniawski's Violin Concerto No. 1, a piece dedicated to King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia. On the second half, the orchestra presents Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, a suite composed in memory of Modest's good friend, artist and architect Viktor Hartmann. Following Hartmann's sudden death, Mussorgsky loaned works from his personal collection to a exhibition in remembrance of this influential figure in Russian art. The exhibition sparked the composer's imagination and prompted him to write his best-known work, which presents a musical tour through the galleries of the Hartmann homage. Following the concert, there will be a reception with a live jazz quintet. This concert is co-sponsored by Oglethorpe University's Arts & Ideas at Oglethorpe series.
