Arguably one of the hardest-to-master piano concertos, Rachmaninoff’s Third starts quietly, then unleashes an astonishing torrent of notes and hurtles to a jaw-dropping conclusion. In-between you’ll hear echoes of Slavic melancholy, lush themes and page upon page of passionate and virtuosic music-making.  The delightful Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks about the mischief-maker we can’t help but like, despite — or because of — the tricks he plays on deserving victims. Rounding out the evening are DSO-commissioned works by two eminent female composers, Sophia Jani, the DSO’s Composer-in-Residence and American Arlene Sierra.

Two beloved Romantic works grace this concert program. Acclaimed French pianist Hélène Grimaud solos in Robert Schumann’s masterpiece — a sublime amalgam of rapture and fire, premiered by the composer’s wife Clara who championed it throughout her career. Brahms’s impassioned Fourth is the pinnacle of his symphonic output. The intensity of this autumnal work is illuminated by an inner radiance that will touch your heart with its deep emotions. Siphokazi Molteno “a mezzo with a knockout coloratura” (The Guardian) lends her stunning voice to African-American composer Julia Perry’s Stabat mater, the haunting lament of Jesus’s mother at the cross.
