ASO writes:
Australian-French composer Katia Beaugeais wrote “Piano Concerto No.1 Bells of Time” specially for Stefan Cassomenos, who gives its World Premiere in this vibrant program.

Piano Concerto No. 1: Bells of Time is about the various emotions and feelings that the world is experiencing today. An uplifting ‘bell-like’ theme is heard throughout, representing hope, solidarity, togetherness, unity and peace.
