Anchorage Symphony's Opening Night

Featuring Timothy Smith, Piano
PROGRAM:
VALERIE COLEMAN - Umoja: Anthem of Unity
FRANZ LISZT - Piano Concerto No. 1
SERGEI RACHMANINOFF - Symphony No. 2
Anchorage favorite Timothy Smith returns to open the season with Liszt’s First Piano Concerto, a showpiece so technically demanding it was once considered unplayable. Valerie Coleman’s Umoja: Anthem of Unity opens the evening, a work built around themes of togetherness and shared joy. Then Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony, written after years of creative paralysis following the disastrous premiere of his First. He spent nearly a decade doubting himself before he found his way back. You can hear every bit of it in this music.
