Jang Han-na's Daejeon Grand Festival, Esme Quartet Recital: Joy of Character

About this show

The third edition of **Jang Han-na's Daejeon Grand Festival** is here — a celebration of gifted young musicians performing with passion and artistry. This year's theme, **"Joy of Music,"** explores how music accompanies us through every emotion and chapter of life. Artistic Director Jang Han-na, who has led the festival for three years, presents her final season with a program that distills her artistic vision and musical philosophy. After exploring "Be Yourself!" and "Immortal Beloved" in previous years, the festival concludes its journey by embracing the pure joy that music brings. Featuring the most dazzling lineup yet — top young talents from the classical world alongside outstanding local musicians — the festival promises performances of the highest caliber. Audiences will have another chance to experience the **Esme Quartet**, who received overwhelming acclaim at the 2024 Daejeon Grand Festival. Through Haydn's witty **"The Joke,"** Dvořák's richly exotic **"American,"** and Schumann's masterful **String Quartet No. 3**, the ensemble showcases their signature precision and the intimate, vibrant dialogue that flows between four instruments. **PROGRAM** - Haydn: String Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 33 No. 2, *"The Joke"* - Dvořák: String Quartet No. 12 in F Major, Op. 96, *"American"* - *Intermission* - Schumann: String Quartet No. 3 in A Major, Op. 41 No. 3
