Don’t miss the FWSO and conductor Tomáš Netopil’s performance of his third and final symphony, a fusion aof his famous balletic style from works like Appalachian Spring and Rodeo with the European symphonic form. Also on the program are Rachmaninoff’s titanic Piano Concerto No. 2, dedicated to a hypnotist who helped the composer overcome severe case of writer’s block, and Dvorák’s bright and festive Carnival Overture.
