Join us for the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra's 24/25 Season Opener, a night of unforgettable music under the baton of Music Director Earl Lee. This spectacular event will take place on Friday, September 27, 2024, at 8 PM in the prestigious Hill Auditorium, with a pre-concert talk scheduled at 7 PM to enrich your experience.

The evening will showcase the extraordinary talents of Yekwon Sunwoo, the first Korean gold medallist of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, renowned for his "unfailingly consistent excellence" (International Piano) and his ability to "thunder without breaking a sweat" (Chicago Tribune). Sunwoo will perform Rachmaninoff’s legendary Piano Concerto No. 2, a piece that signifies the composer's triumphant return to the forefront of classical music.

Also featured in the program is William Bolcom’s "Ann Arbor Saturday," a piece commissioned and premiered by the A2SO in 2018, and Camille Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No. 3, famously known for its grand use of the pipe organ, a piece so dear to Saint-Saëns that he remarked, "I gave everything to it I was able to give. What I have here accomplished, I will never achieve again."

This season opener is not just a concert but a celebration of musical mastery, featuring works that span the emotional spectrum of the human experience. Seats are available now as part of a subscription, with single ticket booking opening on July 18, 2024. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a musical journey that promises to be both exhilarating and deeply moving.
