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.

SUMMARY:Beethoven in Retrospect I
DESCRIPTION:$9.00 \nReserve Seats \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBeethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto is one of his most poetic creations\, intimate in spirit yet quietly revolutionary.

This concert opens the two weekend journey with a feeling of discovery. You hear a composer balancing elegance with boldness and expanding what music can express. It is a deeply satisfying entry point for the cycle\, rewarding for longtime Beethoven listeners and welcoming for anyone returning to this music after some time away. \n\nProgram\nMichael Stern\, conductor\nClayton Stephenson\, piano \nBEETHOVEN Incidental Music from Egmont\nBEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No. 4
