Kern Plays Rachmaninoff

Went to the Pacific Symphony's concert Saturday night.  This is the first one in the 2016-2017 night series.

Listen to Alan Chapman's preview on SoundCloud.

This performance will broadcast on Classical KUSC on February 5, 2017.

This season celebrates the 10 year anniversery of the Renee and Henry Segerstrom concert hall.  If you have never heard a concert hear before, this is an awesome hall.



Music director Carl St. Clair conducted with pianist Olga Kern.

Antonin Dvořák:  Carnival Overture, Op. 92
Sergei Rachmaninoff:  Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43

Conrad Tao:  I got a wiggle that I just can’t shake (world premiere)
Ottorino Respighi:  Pines of Rome, P. 141



We're used to seeing Conrad on stage sitting at the piano, but this time he composed the first work on the second half.  He was here for the rehearsal, but couldn't be present due to an east coast Rach 3 concert.  Who said the virtuoso composers are getting extinct?  :)
