Conductor

Young conducting sensation Dmitry Matvienko, winner of the prestigious Malko Competition for Young Conductors, leads the ASO in a tasty rarity, the sassy Piano Concerto written by the 25-year-old Benjamin Britten. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra welcomes Korean virtuoso Yeol Eum Son, a pianist with "power and passion, fireworks and drama aplenty" (Limelight), in her first Atlanta performances. On the second half of the program, Matvienko leads the ASO in the fragrant Symphony No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninoff.

Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony

Atlanta Symphony Hall

Prokofiev’s most popular Symphony, composed before the end of World War II, found the composer — hounded by Stalin’s Central Committee of the Communist Party — watching his back. Fiery harmonies reveal 20th century sensibilities, where big climaxes alternate with haunting melodies, brass and percussion explosions with exquisite lyricism, tragedy with triumph, sweeping you towards the gripping conclusion. DSO Principal Flute David Buck solos in Nielsen’s Concerto, showcasing not just the flute, but also in dialogue with “fellow instruments.”
