Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1

About this event

Experience the charisma of English maestro Andrew Manze as he returns to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for an evening of eloquent and nuanced romance. The marvelous Chopin interpreter Elisabeth Brauß makes her ASO debut with the Piano Concerto No. 1 - a work that combines haunting introspection with staggering virtuosity. On the second half, Manze leans into the burly might of the ASO's brass section for Elgar's noble, wistful, and soaring Symphony No. 1. "[Elisabeth Brauß's] original and unaffected Chopin-playing is fresh and a joy to listen to." -Gramophone magazine
