The Reno PhilharmonicRachmaninoff's Piano Concerto

Now in his third decade of touring worldwide, American pianist Jon Nakamatsu continues to draw critical and public acclaim for his intensity, elegance and electrifying solo, concerto and chamber music performances. Nakamatsu brings command and intensity to this iconic work, creating a gripping exchange between soloist and orchestra. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 stands at the fault line between Classical restraint and emerging Romantic force—bright, propulsive, and charged with forward motion. Beneath its radiant surface lies a restless, assertive energy that crackles with propulsion and tension, revealing Beethoven on the brink of redefining what a symphony could be.
