Renowned for her technical prowess and emotive playing, world-class pianist Fei-Fei brings “Rach 3” to life with passion and precision. Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 9 highlights the virtuosity of our THSO musicians in this witty and satirical work that was despised and censured by Soviet critics after its premiere. Valerie Coleman’s Seven O’clock Shout provides an uplifting opener inspired by the tireless efforts of frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Repertoire
Valerie Coleman - Seven O’clock Shout
Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 9
Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 3
This event is proudly sponsored by William & Nancy Shriner, Fireplace World & Heat Glo, the Terre Haute Symphony League, Dr. Bill Hughes, and Carl Bender & Barbara Brugnaux.
