Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1
Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra

It’s a blockbuster start to our classical season! The soul-stirring sonorities and rapturous melodies of Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto have guaranteed it a permanent place in the hearts of audiences everywhere, and you won’t want to miss hearing it performed by young piano prodigy Alexander Malofeev. You’ve heard the fanfare of Strauss’ iconic Zarathustra in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, but wait until you hear it played live by the Oregon Symphony—as a huge orchestra, burnished brasses, and the powerful organ reveal the grandeur and mysteries of the universe.
