“We’ve never done something like this before! There are three piano soloists and each one of them is going to play an incredible piece. They’re all pieces written around the same time period, and all have a little bit of influence on each other. The most unique thing about this concert, is that in the midst of these three concertos, we’re going to have the four movements of Stravinsky’s Petrushka and we’ll have these lovely dancers escort our soloists on stage” – Eric Jacobsen, Music Director
Beethoven Week at Resonate Festival
“Combining these Classics Series concerts with the Resonate Festival, we’re going to play three middle Beethoven symphonies: 4, 5, and 6. Each one is going to be paired with an American Concerto.” – Eric Jacobsen, Music Director
