Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto

Baltimore Symphony Orchestra presents an afternoon concert anchored by Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto, featuring pianist Lukáš Vondráček as soloist. The program surrounds this beloved work with music by Boulanger, Bartók, and Ravel, all tied together by a theme of a world in upheaval and transformation. Conductor David Afkham leads the orchestra through the program, emphasizing vivid orchestral color and expressive depth, from the aching lyricism of the concerto to the restless energy of the surrounding works.

The performance takes place on a Sunday afternoon at Strathmore and is billed as a classical/opera presentation.
