ABOUT THIS CONCERT

Commanding “rock-star status in the classical music world” (The Globe and Mail) following his first-prize win at the 2021 International Chopin Piano Competition, the extraordinary Bruce Liu makes his Houston Symphony debut with Chopin’s impassioned and poetic Piano Concerto No. 1—a match made in music heaven. Robert Schumann composed his Second Symphony during one of his darkest hours. Brimming with sparkling tunes, delicate grace, and unwavering hope, it stands as a profound testament to humankind’s strength, grit, and resilience.

  • Light up your weekend with a delightful, uplifting symphony by Robert Schumann
  • Saturday ticketholders enjoy a free After-Party: dance to a DJ, mingle with Symphony musicians, and more!
