Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody opens our exhilarating season in a concert that introduces composer Michael Djupstrom with From the Northern Wilds.

Our 2023/24 season takes flight with a concert that showcases the virtuosity of every member of the orchestra, especially in Sergei Prokofiev’s glorious Symphony No. 5. Imaginative pianist Claire Huangci will perform Sergei Rachmaninov’s poetic Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, which ingeniously transforms one of classical music’s most familiar and beloved themes into an inspiring showpiece. From the Northern Wilds introduces us to our final First Symphony Project Composer, Michael Djupstrom and charts the Missouri River’s flowing and majestic course from its start at an unmarked Montana spring.

"Worthless," declared the composer's friends. "Impossible to play." But Tchaikovsky refused to change a note of what became history's most popular piano concerto. Claire Huangci plays Tchaikovsky’s First Concerto. “If looking for characteristics of her playing, one finds them in her superior focus, imaginative abilities and the resulting poetics of her interpretation,” declares the Neue Zürcher Zeitung. Also, Carl St.Clair conducts the great and noble Fourth Symphony of Johannes Brahms and music by Latin Grammy-nominated Gabriela Ortiz who is leading the new generation of Mexico’s composers.
