The Performance
Feel the full range—and full force—of the orchestra.
Music Director Jun Märkl leads a journey from Mussorgsky’s gleeful darkness to Beethoven’s grace and Stravinsky’s overwhelming power. Night on Bald Mountain turns supernatural horror into theatrical thrills, while pianist Spencer Myer—chair of the Piano Department at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and winner of the 2006 American Pianists Awards—brings humanity and lyricism to Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto.
Then The Rite of Spring unleashes pounding rhythms, ritual intensity, and an enormous orchestral sound in music you may feel as powerfully as you hear.
