Seattle Symphony: Nobuyuki Tsujii Plays Rachmaninov

• Nobuyuki Tsujii, piano

Antonín Dvořák — Carnival Overture, Op. 92
Sergei Rachmaninoff — Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18 (Nobuyuki Tsujii, piano)
Bohuslav Martinů — Symphony No. 6, H. 343 "Fantaisies symphoniques"

Dvořák's optimistic Carnival Overture was written shortly before he left for his infamous travels to the United States. Martinů's deeply personal Sixth Symphony originated in New York while he was in exile from Czechoslovakia. Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto unfolds with a sense of drama and romance in the hands of Nobuyuki Tsujii, "the definition of virtuosity" (The Observer).

Doors open 1 hour, 30 minutes prior to performance.

Pre-concert Talk presented one hour prior to each performance. Free with ticket purchase.
