The Canton Symphony is humbled and honored to welcome revered, world-renowned pianist Garrick Ohlsson to Umstattd Hall. Ohlsson will perform Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto, a true tour de force for the soloist and attempted by only the most virtuosic of performers. The music of 19th century French, female composer Louise Farrenc makes its first appearance in Canton with her Overture No. 2. The concert is rounded out by the Fourth Symphony of Robert Schumann, which was composed towards the end of his life as his mental fortitude declined, giving a window into a genius’ suffering soul.
This concert will likely sell out. Reserve your seats as soon as possible.
