Music Director Morihiko Nakahara presents much-loved music from 2009 Arthur Fraser International Concerto Competition winner Sean Yeh, performing Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand. The piece exhibits Ravel’s characteristic French elegance and exploits the full range of the piano. Book-ending Yeh are some of Russia’s finest: the Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture by Tchaikovsky and the Rachmaninoff Third Symphony. It’s an evening you’ll be sure to love. Visit the SC Philharmonic for more information.
