CONCERT DETAILS
“I conceived of it as glorifying the grandeur of the human spirit . . . praising the free and happy man,” said Prokofiev of his uplifting fifth symphony, composed against the backdrop of World War II; guest conductor Delyana Lazarova, who specializes in Eastern European and Russian repertoire, conducts this masterwork. Pianist Simon Trpčeski, whom The Seattle Times calls “the best thing to come out of Macedonia since Alexander the Great,” returns to the MSO to perform Beethoven’s propulsive and heroic “Emperor” concerto.
The MSO Steinway piano was made possible through a generous gift from Michael & Jeanne Schmitz
