Pittsburgh Symphony
Emanuel Ax Plays Chopin: Romantic Melodies meets Medieval Trickster

Frédéric Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 2
Richard Strauss: Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks
Sunday, March 12
1:30 p.m.
Cost: Your ticket
Nineteen-year-old Chopin was just like any other young man. While the composer was in music school in Warsaw, he met and fell in love with a fellow student, acting as his muse for the utterly romantic Piano Concerto you’ll hear played by world-renowned Emanuel Ax. This piece complements Schmidt’s heartwrenching symphony written in light of his daughter’s early passing. Also, prepare to be tricked in Strauss’ interpretation of the medieval jokester, Till Eulenspiegel. Listen as he dances around the orchestra poking fun at conventional society, with the composer’s intent to “give the people in the concert hall a good laugh for once.” For tickets, call James Guzman at 412-392-8801.
