Andrew Constantine, conductor
Fabio Bidini, piano
The 2023 - 24 Masterworks Series closes with the sensual sounds of Sergei Rachmaninoff and the explosive early masterpiece of William Walton. In Walton's Symphony No. 1, the orchestra springs to life and demands to be heard with vibrant instrumentation!
Virtuoso pianist Fabio Bidini wowed our audiences several years ago with his electrifying performance of Rachmaninoff’s third piano concerto. Now he returns to take the stage with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic for what promises to be an equally stupendous account of the Piano Concerto No. 2, considered by many to be the greatest, and probably most popular, piano concerto ever written.
