THIS EVENT HAS EXPIRED

Led by special guest conductor, Shira Samuels-Shragg, the talent and expertise of the musicians of the CSO is on full display in this program of smaller-ensemble works. You won’t be able to resist tapping your toes along to the irresistible playfulness of Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite. Then, bask in the plush melodies and dazzling virtuosity of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 as rising star and internationally-recognized concert pianist Changyong Shin takes center stage. Guest conductor Shira Samuels-Shragg was hand-picked by Music Director Designate Ilya Ram, and is assistant conductor of the world-renowned Dallas Symphony Orchestra.
