The Utah Symphony is joined by Pablo Ferrández, hailed as a “new cello genius” (Le Figaro) and “the next Yo-Yo Ma” (Pittsburgh Symphony). Ferrández will take center stage in Korngold’s Cello Concerto, a cinematic love story originally written for film, followed by Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme, a graceful theme and variations to showcase the cellist’s virtuosity. Respighi’s The Pines of Rome and Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier Suite round out a concert of unforgettable music.
March 26 Thursday, 7:30 p.m.
