🚨March 14🚨 Join us one night only for Rachmaninoff 3 at the Ohio Theatre! Sergei Rachmaninoff (Sur·gae Raak·maa·nuh·naaf) was a prolific composer and pianist but also a great conductor! Immerse yourself in this exhilarating concert filled with heroic sounds, dazzling virtuosity, and musical drama! Janáček’s dynamic Taras Bulba offers a vivid orchestral portrayal of heroism and sacrifice inspired by Nikolai Gogol’s tales of war and death. Symphony pianist Caroline Hong brings Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue to life with sweeping lyricism and jazzy flair. Rachmaninoff’s lush and dramatic Symphony No. 3 weaves a poignant musical tapestry that will captivate your heart and stir your soul.
