Both Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev were inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to write some of their most romantic music. On this concert, we partner with Johnstown’s Band of Brothers Shakespeare Company to create a synthesis of stage and sound as Shakespeare’s language weaves within these powerful and evocative melodies for orchestra. On the second half, we present international pianist Michelle Cann in her Johnstown Symphony Orchestra debut performing Rachmaninoff’s unmatched second piano concerto. This is the definition of a grand finale!
