by BWW News Desk - December 03, 2015
Orange County, Calif.-Nov. 20, 2015-Powerhouse performances make for a breathtaking evening when Pacific Symphony, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, performs Beethoven's dramatic "Eroica" Symphony on a program that includes another musical marvel, Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3, performed by Chinese-American sensation Conrad Tao. The calm, controlled opening of Prokofiev's Concerto disarms the audience for the tumult that's to come-scales swoop through the orchestra and the keyboard explodes as Tao performs his magic. Now 21, the pianist has been called "the most exciting prodigy to ever come my way" by a music critic at Musical America, while The New York Times says he plays with "fiery panache" and New York Magazine notes Tao's "aggressive charm and flashes of genuine wisdom."
