Benjamin Grosvenor

heroic piano & premiere

I can’t wait to experience one of the piano world’s newest stars as Benjamin Grosvenor plays the Beethoven third piano concerto. And we get to hear for the first time a work by Jessie Montgomery, who has taken the symphonic world by storm. We close the concert with one of my favorite composers, Antonín Dvořák, and the magnificent work that brought him international acclaim. — JD
