Beethoven Project: First Piano Concerto

Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann welcomes Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi who brings “a probing yet playful touch” (Chicago Classical Review) to a Beethoven concerto packed with brilliance, geniality, and wit. On the flip side, Nathalie Stutzmann summons the feverish virtuosity of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for Shostakovich’s biting protest against tyranny – the heartrending Symphony No. 8.
