RACHMANINOFF Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini
CASELLA Symphony No. 2
Rachmaninoff, wizard of the piano, meets Paganini, wizard of the violin. The result: the notoriously difficult Rhapsody — 24 variations on the 24th of Paganini’s Caprices — encompassing everything from knuckle-busting runs to the terrifying Day of Wrath medieval chant and the swoon-worthy 18th variation. Followed by Casella’s thrillingly assertive second symphony, this program will take its audience on a powerful musical journey.

Our Dallas Symphony Young Professionals will be in attendance to this performance. Learn more about how to become involved in DSO YP here!
