RachFest

One of the great pianists of his day, Sergey Rachmaninov poured his encyclopedic knowledge of the instrument into his compositions, creating four piano concertos that are a tour-de-force of pianistic effects and require jaw-dropping technique to perform. We celebrate the 150th anniversary of Rachmaninov’s birth with a two-night RachFest, performing his full cycle of piano concertos — some of the most challenging works in the piano repertoire.
