The Composer & The Pianist

The third season of the HSO’s Beethoven symphony
cycle continues with the Overture to Egmont and
Symphony No. 8. The HSO is joined in a “back-bypopular
demand” encore by renowned Russian pianist
Yakov Kasman, performing Rachmaninoff’s beloved
Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor.
“Not only does he have a huge sound, but he
also has diabolical fleetness of fingers and
pinpoint accuracy. Along with these titanium
chops, though, he possesses the soul of a poet and
sensibility of a painter.”
— Boston Globe
