CHOPIN  Piano Concerto No. 2
BARTÓK Concerto for Orchestra

Two powerful forces meet in one evening, Chopin’s lyric intimacy and Bartók’s orchestral electricity. Pianist Natasha Paremski brings depth and nuance to Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2, where the piano sings and the emotion lives in the details. Then Alain Trudel leads Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, a thrilling showcase that lets every section of the BPO shine. It is music that feels alive in real time, rhythmically charged, richly colored, and full of momentum. Together, these works create a journey from private reflection to a collective surge of sound.
