The Granada Theatre
Plagued by self-doubt, Sergei Rachmaninoff had abandoned his music. When inspiration returned, he poured every ounce of longing and triumph into the concerto that made him immortal. Grammy Award-winning pianist Michelle Cann brings it to life. "She displayed her own powerful technique," raved Washington Classical Review. Nir Kabaretti also conducts Shostakovich's Fifth —a stirring masterpiece of courage, conflict, and survival.
