PIOTR ILYICH TCHAÏKOVSKI Piano Concerto No.1. Francesca da Rimini Olga Kern, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Christopher Seaman

Gold Medalist at the 11th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Olga Kern brings her passionate Russian intensity to the most popular of all piano concertos, the Tchaikovsky First. Completing the program is a rarely heard orchestral showpiece, Francesca da Rimini, in a fiery reading by Maestro Seaman and the Rochester Philharmonic.

“Kern’s musicality radiates off the stage and saturates the hall, and it is joyously alive” – The Washington Post
