The journey begins with Overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila by Mikhail Glinka, a brilliant, high energy orchestral piece known for its rapid tempo, sparkling string passages, and vivid orchestration.

Pianist Diego Caetano will return to perform Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor by Sergei Rachmaninioff, a towering masterpiece of the Romantic repertoire, known for its sweeping lyricism, intense emotional depth, and formidable technical demands.

To conclude the evening, the orchestra will end its 2025-2026 season with Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky, a vivid work that musically portrays a walk through an art gallery. Let the melodies, rhythms, and emotions carry you to the horizons of artistic inspiration.
