An unforgettable evening of musical storytelling, presented through a vibrant program, brimming with romance and the spirited charm of Italian culture. Experience the dazzling sounds of Berlioz’s Roman Carnival Overture, Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien, and Respighi’s Fountains of Rome – each a vivid homage to Italy’s festivals, landscapes, and timeless allure. For this concert, ASO is thrilled to welcome back acclaimed piano virtuoso Sean Chen, who’ll perform Rachmaninoff’s beloved Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini – a deeply expressive tour de force, inspired by one of Italy’s greatest violinists.
