Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concerto No. 2: Finishing Touches Rehearsal
OVERVIEW
Start your morning off right with a behind-the-scenes look at the process of bringing our concerts to the stage. Finishing Touches gives our audience the opportunity to observe working rehearsals; selections from the program will be rehearsed at the discretion of the conductor.
The passionate intensity of Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concerto No. 2 is a testament to Saint-Saëns’ mastery of the piano and his ability to evoke a range of emotions—and in the hands of the visionary and commanding pianist Alessio Bax, it’s sure to mesmerize!
Showing the full scope of Bartók’s brilliance, his Concerto for Orchestra highlights each section of the orchestra as soloists in their own right. With dazzling brass fanfares and delicate dances of strings and woodwinds, each instrument has its moment to show off virtuosity and versatility This final completed work by Bartók is a masterclass in structural perfection, much like the perfect balance found in Mozart’s symphonies more than 150 years earlier.
