His music combines bold, expressive gestures with vivid storytelling.

Rachmaninoff has been known as a barnstorming pianist/composer of the late romantic period. However, his work as a symphonist is equally impressive as you will hear in his second symphony. The score is dedicated to Sergei Taneyev, a Russian composer, teacher, theorist, author, and pupil of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. This evening will be conducted by Nicholas Han as his final Doctor of Musical Arts recital.
