Rachmaninov wrote his Third Piano Concerto in 1909 for one of the greatest players of all time: himself. The savagely difficult "Rach 3" is a dazzler, especially in the hands of the "most trailblazing and meteoric performer" Nikolai Lugansky [Gramophone]. The Finnish nature-lover Jean Sibelius brings an earthy contrast to the concerto with his shimmering, Nordic-flavored Symphony No. 1. Led by ASO Assistant Conductor and ASYO Music Director Stephen Mulligan, pianist Nikolai Lugansky makes his Delta Classical Series debut.

Thursday evening includes a pre-concert lecture at 7 p.m. in Atlanta Symphony Hall by ASO Insider and Program Notes Annotator Ken Meltzer. Free for all ticket holders of the February 14 & 16, 2019, concerts.

For just $20 per person, enjoy access to the Woodruff Arts Center's exclusive Delta Sky360^o Club to enhance your experience with an included glass of champagne and snacks either before the performance or during intermission.
