Bringing the 2016 Festival to a suitably festive conclusion, our final concert features 2014 Gilmore Artist Rafal Blechacz in a performance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra. The evening will conclude with the world premiere of the newly-commissioned Concerto for Piano and Orchestra by composer Michel Legrand, who will perform the work with the KSO, closing the Festival in memorable fashion!

A pre-concert talk by Raymond Harvey, Conductor of the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra, will be held from 7 to 7:45 PM in the Chenery Auditorium Reception Room preceding the concert. Free to ticket holders.
