Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony

Young conducting sensation Dmitry Matvienko, winner of the prestigious Malko Competition for Young Conductors, leads the ASO in a tasty rarity, the sassy Piano Concerto written by the 25-year-old Benjamin Britten. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra welcomes Korean virtuoso Yeol Eum Son, a pianist with "power and passion, fireworks and drama aplenty" (Limelight), in her first Atlanta performances. On the second half of the program, Matvienko leads the ASO in the fragrant Symphony No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninoff.
