SUMMARY:Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 3
DESCRIPTION:$9.00 \nReserve Seats \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nRachmaninoff’s Third Symphony is lush yet restless\, unfolding in long lines and vivid orchestral color. Under JoAnn Falletta\, the BPO brings out both the intimacy and the sweep\, moments that feel confessional followed by passages that bloom into full symphonic radiance. The program is framed by Paul Frucht’s Inextinguishable\, adding a contemporary voice to a night rooted in emotional resonance. With Kara Dugan\, William Burden\, and Tobias Greenhalgh as vocal soloists\, the concert offers a broader canvas while keeping its center of gravity in depth\, warmth\, and expressive clarity. \n\nProgram\nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nKara Dugan\, soprano\nWilliam Burden\, tenor\nTobias Greenhalgh\, baritone \nPAUL FRUCHT  Inextinguishable (World Premiere)\nRACHMANINOFF  Symphony No. 3
