Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto

Prepare to get goosebumps when the horns sound, the strings surge, and the wondrous Behzod Abduraimov plays those first heroic chords that launch the spine-tingling ride of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1! The Grammy-winning composer Augusta Read Thomas charts a spiritually resonant journey in Prayer Bells, and conductor Robert Trevino returns to close the program with Russian Romanticism in Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, a reflective look back from an unabashedly nostalgic composer.
