Immerse yourself in an unforgettable musical journey with the Pacific Symphony's "Rachmaninoff & Beethoven" concert series, taking place from Thursday, September 26, through Saturday, September 28, 2024, at the prestigious Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Each evening promises an enchanting experience starting at 8:00 pm, where the timeless compositions of Rachmaninoff and Beethoven will be brought to life under the baton of esteemed conductor Carl St.Clair, featuring the virtuosic Claire Huangci on piano.

The concert series opens with Ticheli's "Shooting Stars," setting the stage with its musical fireworks. The program then transitions to Ravel's "Alborada del gracioso," a vibrant homage to Spain's spirited culture, before diving into Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini."
