Rachmaninoff with Natasha Paremski
Audience favorite Natasha Paremski returns with Rachmaninoff’s fiendishly demanding third piano concerto, a perfect showcase for her expert technique and dynamic style. The Westminster Symphonic Choir features in two works: Tchaikovsky’s beautiful a capella “Hymn of the Cherubim,” drawn from his Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and Brahms’ Schicksalslied (“Song of Destiny”), an example of the great composer’s exceptional choral writing.
Hers was a deeply personal Rachmaninoff Third, by turns pensive and tempestuous, warmly songful and brazenly fast. - Chicago Tribune
Due to the length and type of performance, this concert is not suitable for children under the age of 5.
