RACHMANINOFF’S THIRD at Flato Markham Theatre

Although not penned for specific persons or those of the past, Bruchs In Memoriam is a one-movement heartfelt lament for solo violin and orchestra. Hungarian-Canadian pianist Mary Kenedi masterfully interprets Bartks Piano Concert No. 3: a piece written during the final few months of the composers life as a birthday gift for his wife. After a seventeen-year compositional drought, Rachmaninoffs final Symphony No. 3 harkens lush tones of the past Romantic era.Kristian Alexander | conductorMary Kenedi | pianistNakwon Choi | violonistMichael Berec | host7:10 p.m. Prlude (pre-concert recital)7:20 p.m. Pre-concert talk Intermission discussion with Michael Berec and Mary Kenedi Post-concert live jazz with complimentary glass of Champagne
