Francesca da Rimini is Tchaikovsky's dramatic telling of the life that inspired the Divine Comedy.

The Rachmaninoff is considered to be one of the most difficult piano concertos. We welcome back Cincinnati pianist Dror Biran, who last performed with us in 2019.

Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3

Central Ohio Symphony

As the house lights fade on Dr. Vickerman’s inaugural season, a single spotlight brightens to illuminate our very special guest artist for the afternoon, Sameer Gupta. One of the few percussionists in the world who is fluent in both American jazz and classical Indian music, Mr. Gupta’s unique musical sound combines traditional and modern improvisational styles. His prodigious skills on the Indian hand drums, or tabla, will be center stage he joins the Wind Symphony in performing Reena Esmail’s Chamak. The concert also features Jennifer Jolley’s poignant contemplation on the destruction of California wildfires, Ash, alongside the energetic and rhythmic Dancing Fire by Kevin Day. The concert concludes with Ida Gotkovsky’s epic masterpiece Poeme du Feu. Don’t miss it!
