Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3

Conducted by Jean-Marie Zeitouni

About The Concert

Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 is one of his most treasured works and a staple in piano repertoire. Award-winning Canadian pianist Jaeden Izik-Dzurko takes on this notoriously difficult piece that is sure to impress. Prokofiev’s Lieutenant Kijé Suite was his first attempt at film music and the excitement and intrigue shines throughout the piece. Kodály’s enchanting set of variations, based on an old folk tune from his native Hungary, round out this exciting program.
