Orchestral

Beethoven à la Kern

About the Concert</h2> <p>Santa Rosa Symphony favorite, Olga Kern, returns to perform Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto, <em>Emperor</em>, a grand virtuosic showpiece setting the pianist up as the hero battling the orchestra. Wagner’s warm and swelling <em>Lohengrin</em>: Prelude to Act 1 provides the perfect beginning for a year of hope and recovery along, with the much-anticipated First Symphony by Composer-in-Residence Gabriella Smith, commissioned by First Symphony Project* donors.
