Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra plays Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances on Sunday, February 28, at 3 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. Violinist Stella Chen and conductor Nicholas Collon both make their DSO debuts; tickets run $20.95 to $114.66.
This is a program with cinematic sweep. Stella Chen, a prodigious young violinist, makes her DSO debut in Korngold’s lush violin concerto. Nicholas Collon, founder of the boundary-pushing Aurora Orchestra, brings nostalgia and bite to Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances and the fireworks of Lotta Wennäkoski’s Flounce.
