Jon Kimura Parker Plays BRAHMS

Saturday, November 19 – 7:30 PM

Washington Pavilion

Sonorous. Luxurious. The sound world of these two composers is filled with rich and beautiful movements, each one unique but deeply moving and satisfying. Rachmaninoff’s First Symphony is comprised of all of the elements for which he is known and loved: gorgeous melodies, powerful rhythms and perfectly placed climaxes. Pianist Jon Kimura Parker has performed for Queen Elizabeth II, the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Prime Ministers of Canada and Japan, and now brings his mastery to the SDSO with Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2.

 

Brahms                                Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 83
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jon Kimura Parker, piano

Rachmaninoff                    Symphony No. 1 in D minor, Op. 13
