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.
