Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 by Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff, Tian, Stravinsky, Från (2024/2024), Dirigent Earl Lee, Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, USA

Possessing an “astonishing command of keyboard tone and color” (The Guardian), pianist Eric Lu is at the forefront of a new generation of solo artists pairing phenomenal talent with deep emotional maturity. Winner of The Leeds International Piano Competition at just 20 years of age, Lu debuted with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Riccardo Muti in October of 2022 and will make appearances with leading orchestras across 2023-2024. Music Director Earl Lee directs this riveting concert that also features Zhou Tian’s sonic tribute to the Transcontinental Railroad’s completion, plus Stravinsky’s Firebird — a mighty, mythical tour-de-force of orchestration.
