ALL RACHMANINOFF MOZART REQUIEM The powerful Czech pianist Lukáš
Vondráček joins Marin Alsop for a lush
program of piano, vocal and orchestral
music by Sergei Rachmaninoff, whose
Second Piano Concerto boasts one of
his biggest romantic tunes. The program
closes with his choral symphony, The Bells,
based on the poem by Edgar Allan Poe. Making its BSO debut, the Percussion
Collective has most recently been stunning
audiences in Europe and Asia and will
perform Peabody professor Christopher
Theofanidis’ Drum Circles. Also on the
program is Mozart’s dramatic Requiem,
one of his greatest achievements despite
the fact that he didn’t survive to complete
it. Baltimore Choral Arts Society will join
Marin Alsop and the Orchestra for this
magnificent masterpiece. TCHAIKOVSKY PIANO
