Why didn’t he ever complete the work? Explore this puzzling mystery as you experience Schubert’s symphony of light and shadow. Completed when Rachmaninoff was just 18, his Piano Concerto No. 1 already showcases the romantic fire and superhuman virtuosity associated with the Russian composer’s work. Lise de la Salle, a pianist who “calms nerves and soothes the soul” (Bachtrack), returns to the DSO to navigate this concerto’s emotional depths. A work of serene spirituality, Hovhaness’ Symphony No. 2, “Mysterious Mountain,” conjures the majesty of earth’s mountain ranges, which the composer saw as “symbols of man’s attempt to know God.” Come early to enjoy Happy Hour before the hour-long Thursday concert, performed without intermission. This performance does not include Hovhaness’ Symphony No. 2, “Mysterious Mountain.” Performance Preludes Join us for an in-depth and unique pre-concert talk with Assistant Conductor Shira Samuels-Shragg!
