Rachmaninoff's First Symphony
Come enjoy not one, but two Rachmaninoff works. Written while the composer was still a young man, both works display the passion and the luscious melodies that are hallmarks of Rachmaninoff’s music.
Also hear Jeffrey Kahane perform Mozart’s piano concerto No. 22, featured in the motion pictu...re Amadeus. Kahane is completely at home with Mozart, having just played all 23 concertos in recent years. He will amaze you with his effortless technique and poetic soul.
