Dallas Symphony Orchestra

Scarred by cold criticism after the premiere of his First Symphony, Rachmaninoff believed he’d never write another. But after a 10-year battle with creative self-doubt, his next symphony proved a triumphant success — a testament to the composer’s resilience and his ability to pierce the heart with music of profound beauty. With its aching lyricism and fevered sensuality, Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 embraces love and loss, passion and despair, while offering some of the most ravishing melodies ever written.

But first, be astonished by the genre-busting musicians of Time for Three as they merge classical music, bluegrass and Bulgarian folk song in Kevin Puts’ Contact. Winner of the 2023 GRAMMY® Award for Best Contemporary Classical Composition, Contact explores our deep-seated yearning for human connection.

The haunting atmosphere and enchanting melodies of Schubert’s Symphony No. 8 — his “Unfinished” Symphony — always cast a hypnotic spell. Why didn’t he ever complete the work? Explore this puzzling mystery as you experience Schubert’s symphony of light and shadow.

Completed when Rachmaninoff was just 18, his Piano Concerto No. 1 already showcases the romantic fire and superhuman virtuosity associated with the Russian composer’s work. Lise de la Salle, a pianist who “calms nerves and soothes the soul” (Bachtrack), returns to the DSO to navigate this concerto’s emotional depths.

A work of serene spirituality, Hovhaness’ Symphony No. 2, “Mysterious Mountain,” conjures the majesty of earth’s mountain ranges, which the composer saw as “symbols of man’s attempt to know God.”

Hot jazz meets cool French elegance in Gershwin’s An American in Paris, which follows one tourist’s adventures as he dodges taxis along the bustling Champs Elysées, parties in the city’s dance halls and feels pangs of homesickness.

Composed for a pianist who lost his right arm in World War I, Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand begins with a stew of deep, sinister sounds before building to a madcap, brassy march. Cédric Tiberghien — “a magician with poetic clarity” (Le Soir) — commands the stage in Ravel’s jazz-infused concerto, leaving you to wonder how such a work is performed with just one hand.

A pair of kaleidoscopic ballet scores from Roussel and Milhaud complete the evening, tracing mythological tales of love, forgiveness and the creation of the world.
