Our final concert brings an end to our five-year Cliburn Project with Sean Chen in Saint-Saens Second Piano Concerto which will sure to please. The piece de la resistance and crowning achievement of the season will come together in a VSO premiere performance of Richard Strauss' musical depiction of the ascent and descent up a large mountain in his gargantuan Alpine Symphony! Sean Chen is the winner of the 2013 American Pianists Award and 2013 Cliburn Bronze Medalist. SPONSORED BY: James and Tina Wayne Saint-Saens Piano Concerto #2 in G minor Strauss An Alpine Symphony
