MSO Mornings: Rachmaninov’s Third Symphony
May 17 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
$54.00 – $94.00Always a favourite conductor with MSO audiences, Lawrence Renes leads the MSO in this stellar program of Rachmaninov’s sweeping third and final symphony and Shostakovich’s effervescent overture.
Shostakovich’s aptly-named Festive Overture is the perfect orchestral party piece, opening the concert with a brassy fanfare to set the mood for the incredible work to follow.
Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov wrote his third and final symphony in exile in the 1930s. The sweeping melodies for which Rachmaninov is known are underpinned by a hidden depth of uneasiness and unpredictability.
