Title of Event/Program: Power to the Piano

Day of Week, Month, Date, and Event Time (AM or PM): Saturday, November 18 at 7:30 P.M.

Brief description of the event: Many of our best-selling programs highlight one specific instrument: the piano. It seems that composers wrote some of their most inspired music for the piano with orchestral accompaniment. Come hear two of the best examples: Rachmaninoff’s “Rhapsody” was made even more famous after it was used extensively in the film “Somewhere in Time” and Gershwin’s famous Rhapsody in Blue got a sequel: his Second Rhapsody. Don’t miss the chance to hear not one but TWO concertos in one concert.
