Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody & The Little Mermaid

ABOUT THIS CONCERT

Based on a catchy little tune by Paganini, Rachmaninoff’s diabolically difficult Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini blends explosive piano feats with melodies that melt the heart. And, Music Director Juraj Valčuha leads music sprinkled in fairy tale magic: swim through the wonders of Liadov’s Enchanted Lake, then dive under the sea with Zemlinsky’s lavishly romantic The Mermaid, based on Hans Christian Andersen’s “Little Mermaid” story.

What to Expect:

• Jaw-dropping piano feats you have to hear (and see) to believe
• Stunningly beautiful melodies by classical music’s ultimate romantic, Rachmaninoff
• Dive under the sea with lush, evocative music inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid”
