With Love, the Best of the Romantic Period

An evening of sweeping emotion and irresistible melody, this program draws you into the heart of Romantic music. Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 — one of the most beloved works ever written — unfolds with passion, intensity, and unforgettable beauty. Paired with Verdi’s dramatic overture and Brahms’ richly layered symphony, this is music that must be felt live.


Guest Artist: William Wu, piano (First Prize, 2025 Arthur Fraser Piano Competition)
