PRELUDE

Prepare for an evening of unparalleled musical virtuosity as we showcase the majestic compositions of Sergei Rachmaninoff. The journey begins with the haunting allure of the Symphonic Dances, Op. 45, where Rachmaninoff weaves a tapestry of rich melodies and rhythmic excitement. The spotlight then turns to the legendary pianist Garrick Ohlsson, who takes the stage for a breathtaking performance of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30. Ohlsson’s technical mastery and emotional depth will be on full display as the electric synergy between pianist and orchestra is revealed in this season finale.
