Curious about this weekend’s piano soloist, Alessio Bax? Watch this 3+ minute video interview from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCTrk7m5coc

Then hear him in person on Friday night (playing Rachmaninoff’s “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini”) and Saturday night (playing de Falla’s “Nights in the Gardens of Spain”).  Pick up one of his CDs and have him autograph it after the concert!

Thank you to Emily Hogstad for the hilarious meme for this concert! And it’s true – it took Brahms 21 years to write his first symphony – but what a masterpiece!  Hear it performed by our MN Orchestra this Friday at 8 pm.

And don’t miss the phenomenal Alessio Bax’ debut with our Orchestra, playing Rachmaninoff’s fascinating “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.”  This 38-year-old Italian (who now lives in NY City) is in the midst of a whirlwind summer tour, playing fourteen festivals on three continents – wow – lucky us!

The program opens with Berlioz’ rousing “Roman Carnival” Overture.  

Orchestral and pianistic fireworks on a clear warm summer’s evening in Minnesota – what could be finer?  More info and tickets here:  http://www.minnesotaorchestra.org/buy/tickets/browse-calendar/eventdetail/552/-/rachmaninoff-and-brahms#.VaPcqvlVikp
