Brahms 4 & Rach 2 Concert

RACHMANINOFF Piano Concerto No. 2
BRAHMS Symphony No. 4

Lindsay Garritson, piano

Wise pianists fear Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto, one of the most fiendishly difficult pieces ever composed for piano, but also one of his most loved for its gorgeous lyricism.  Prepare for an extraordinary concert experience when celebrated and award-winning pianist Lindsay Garritson takes on Rachmaninov’s beloved Piano Concerto No. 2.  Combining glorious melody, swelling orchestration, lush harmonies, and displays of blistering speed, it’s no secret why this is regarded as one of the best piano concertos ever written.  Brahms’s Fourth Symphony is a titan of the symphonic repertoire. In his final symphony, the composer weaves a musical narrative evoking both dramatic intensity and profound serenity delivering a concert finale of heightened emotion. Filled with deep emotion, profound complexity and beautiful melancholy, Brahms’ Fourth Symphony finishes with a finale that will leave you speechless.
