Boston Orchestra Book Club Presents: Virtuoso Variations
Mon. May. 27, 2024 at 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The Orchestra Book Club returns to the Center for Arts at the Armory in Somerville for a thrilling concert exploring themes and variations in classical music.
The concert begins with the North American premiere of Grażyna Bacewicz’ Symphonic Variations, a stunning example of 20th-century Polish avant-garde. Internationally-renowned pianist Tony Yike Yang then joins the group for Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, a sprawling development of the violin virtuoso Niccolo Paganini’s most famous caprice.
