Apotheosis | Frost Symphony Orchestra

The Frost Symphony Orchestra opens the season with the world premiere of Bernard Rands’s Chant, the fifth of six Centennial commissions. The Pulitzer Prize–winning composer—an enduring force in American music—has crafted this new score to honor the Frost School’s 100-year milestone.

Next in the program is one of the great high-wire acts in the repertoire, Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor. Legendary pianist and Frost professor Santiago Rodriguez,
praised as "a phenomenal pianist" by The New York Times and "among the finest pianists in the world" by The Baltimore Sun, takes on the concerto’s towering chords, sweeping lyricism, and famously fearsome cadenza. Beneath the virtuosity lies a deeply Russian melancholy: Rachmaninoff wrote the work on the eve of his first American tour, capturing both homesickness and newfound possibility in a single span.
