We invite you to explore the colors and textures of the orchestra in Luster by acclaimed composer and UNCSA faculty member Jared Miller and to feel the deeply emotive strains of Rachmaninoff’s renowned Piano Concerto No. 2. Pianist Michelle Cann has been heralded as a “compelling, sparkling virtuoso” (Boston Intelligencer), and her interpretation of this iconic and powerful composition will draw you in with its haunting opening theme and keep you on the edge of your seat as it soars to its climax.

Some stories unfold in words. Others in sound. This program brings together music that speaks of struggle, resilience, and joy. Verdi’s Nabucco Overture opens with bold, sweeping melodies that have the heart of an opera and the soul of a revolution. Pianist Han Chen then joins us for Jared Miller’s Shattered Night, a piece that explores chaos and hope, breaking apart and rebuilding before our ears. And then—Brahms’ Symphony No. 1, a symphony that took years to complete but was well worth the wait. Its final movement bursts with the kind of triumph that only comes after the storm.
