Praised internationally for his commanding stage presence and vocal artistry, Italian bass-baritone Nicola Alaimo makes a welcome appearance at Wigmore Hall in a program that brings together the wit, elegance and lyricism of early 19th-century Italian song.

22-year-old American pianist Maxim Lando has been lauded by The New York Times for his “brilliance and infectious exuberance.” He joins the PSO for performances of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s rarely-heard Piano Concerto No. 2. Felix Mendelssohn described his fourth symphony, inspired by the sights and sounds of Italy, as a “blue sky in A major.” Gioachino Rossini’s sparkling overture to L’italiana in Algeri marks the composer’s first foray into comic opera.
