Robert Spano conducts Rachmaninoff, Bernstein, and Theofanidis. The incomparable Stephen Hough, one of the greatest pianists of our time, returns to Athens with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for Rachmaninoff’s First Piano Concerto, a dazzler combining ferocious pianism with Hollywood lyricism. ASO Music Director Laureate Robert Spano also makes a welcome return and shines a spotlight on the ASO brass in Leonard Bernstein’s tumultuous Jeremiah Symphony. Based on the Biblical prophet, this modern masterpiece also features the Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor.
