Audience favorite pianist Natasha Paremski returns to the Ohio Theatre with Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, a dazzling work inspired by Paganini’s Caprice No. 24 for violin. Witold Lutosławski began work on his first symphony while living in occupied Warsaw in the early 1940s. Perhaps reflecting these harsh conditions, this energetic and complex work was banned by the Polish government shortly after its premiere and was not performed again for a decade.

We wrap up our season by reminding you of our tagline this season:  “Expect the Unexpected”.  In Masterworks VI we revisit themes presented in Masterworks I: identity, freedom, community, and connection to our homeland. Music is an emotional experience that takes us on a journey: each piece is an expression of who we are, where we are, who we want to be, and where we want to go.
