LIADOV The Enchanted Lake

RACHMANINOFF Piano Concerto No. 2

COPLAND Symphony No. 3

Hometown pianist Behzod Abduraimov returns to perform Piano Concerto No. 2 by Russian composer and pianist Rachmaninoff with the Kansas City Symphony. Performing across the globe with the most celebrated orchestras, Abduraimov brings his superb artistry and impressive technique to this work brimming with gorgeous, unforgettable melodies and virtuoso brilliance. The Enchanted Lake by Liadov is a captivating example of the Russian composer’s fascination for tales of fairies, dragons, mermaids and goblins. Copland composed his Third Symphony after World War II, and he “intended to reflect the euphoric spirit of the country at the time.” The finale of this great American Symphony includes his beloved Fanfare for the Common Man. Tickets start at $32.
