BRITTEN The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra
RACHMANINOFF Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini
ELGAR Enigma Variations

Memorable melodies and inventive variations abound in this program of 20th-century showpieces. French pianist Alexandre Kantorow brings electrifying virtuosity to Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, which transforms a famous violin caprice into a stunning tour de force. Framing the program are two orchestral favorites: Britten’s dazzling tour of the orchestra and Elgar’s Enigma Variations, a personal and reflective tribute to the composer’s dearest friends.
