Fanfare for a New Season

  • Sunday, October 7, 2012 at 2:30 PM
    Merrill Auditorium
  • Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 7:30 PM
    Merrill Auditorium

Three centuries of great music, three works defined by both bold virtuosity and exquisite tenderness. Tchaikovsky’s first Piano Concerto is one of the most beloved showpiece works of the Romantic Era, and Copland’s Symphony No. 3 culminates in the famous “Fanfare for the Common Man” theme. A rousing start to a dynamic new season!

Andrew Russo, piano
