Joyce Yang Plays Grieg

Ruth Reinhardt makes her Pacific Symphony debut in a festive program celebrating international voices that shaped American concert life. Grieg’s beloved Piano Concerto anchors the evening with sweeping lyricism and radiant melody. Some concertos ease you in. Grieg’s makes an entrance. A thunderous timpani roll. A dramatic cascade of piano chords. Hear how Grammy-nominated pianist Joyce Yang brings this dramatic concerto to life. Then, feel the pulse of Dvořák’s Sixth Symphony, with a fiery Czech folk dance at its heart, full of exhilarating rhythms and irresistible energy. Glanert’s American Prelude No. 1 completes this uplifting concert of warmth and joy.

Preview Talk at 7 p.m. with Classical California midday host Alan Chapman.
