Description
Rachmaninoff’s brilliant and challenging Third Piano Concerto is respected, even feared, by many pianists due to its technical and musical demands. Denver favorite Natasha Paremski returns as just the virtuoso to tackle the wiles of this Romantic masterpiece. Filled with drama, conflict, and tension, it ranked as Rachmaninoff's personal favorite among his celebrated piano concertos.
In her Colorado Symphony debut, dynamic conductor Karen Kamensek leads a first half which features a glimpse into her GRAMMY®-winning work as an opera conductor in Richard Strauss's Four Symphonic Interludes from the opera Intermezzo and Fazil Say’s Grand Bazaar.
