Celebrate the 200th anniversaries of Robert Schumann and Frédéric Chopin! Pianist Louis Lortie brings his unsurpassed joie de vivre and tenderness both to Schumann’s lovely concerto and Chopin’s ode to his Polish homeland. You’ll also enjoy Schumann’s Symphony No. 2, performed with Gustav Mahler’s insightfully edited orchestration.

On Sept. 30 at 7:15pm, join Rick Phillips for a relaxed and enlightening discussion about the performance, with a Pre-Concert Chat in the lobby.
