Rachmaninoff & Bartók - Columbus Symphony

The Columbus Symphony presents an evening of classical masterworks featuring pianist Eva Gevorgyan performing Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto, a notoriously demanding and rewarding piece that showcases her considerable talent. Conductor Rossen Milanov leads the orchestra through this ambitious program, which also includes Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra and a contemporary work by Dobrinka Tabakova. This concert offers a wonderful introduction to serious orchestral music for older kids and adults who enjoy classical performances. Bartók's piece is particularly engaging because nearly every instrument in the orchestra gets a moment to shine, making it easy to follow the different sections and appreciate the skill of each musician. The performance takes place at the Ohio Theatre, a historic and beautiful venue that adds to the experience.
