He was plagued by self-doubt and had abandoned his music. But when inspired to compose again, Sergei Rachmaninoff wrote the masterpiece that would make him immortal. The sensational Olga Kern joins the North Carolina Symphony for Rachmaninoff’s ravishing Piano Concerto No. 2.
This timeless program also features the “Pathétique,” an orchestral masterwork described by Tchaikovsky himself as "the best thing I have composed or will ever compose." Renowned guest conductor Leonard Slatkin leads this passionate evening of live classical music.
