Pianist Yong Hi Moon will make her debut with the Peabody Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 13, in Peabody's Friedberg Hall. Gustav Meier will guest conduct the orchestra for this concert that includes Mozart's Concerto for Piano in E-flat, K. 482 with Yong Hi Moon as soloist. The concert begins with Cherubini's Anacreon Overture. The Hindemith Symphony Mathis der Maler, drawn from the composer's 1934 opera of that name, concludes the program.

Yong Hi Moon, who joined the Peabody Conservatory faculty two years ago, was earlier a Preparatory faculty member and a student of Leon Fleisher. She performs regularly in Korea with the Pusan Philharmonic and other orchestras, and gives frequent recitals in Seoul. She also has been soloist in Japan with the Tokyo and Osaka philharmonics and in the United States with many orchestras.

Meier has directed the Peabody Conducting Program since 1996. He is music director of the Greater Lansing (Michigan) Symphony Orchestra and the Greater Bridgeport (Connecticut) Symphony Orchestra and appears regularly as a guest conductor in Europe and South and Central America.
