Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra presents Tchaikovsky’s “Piano Concerto No. 1” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8 and 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9 at Bainbridge Performing Arts.

Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 sits at the top of the concerto repertory and pianist Angelo Rondello will dazzle audiences with his energy and technical flair. Vasily Kalinnikov’s life was cut short by illness but not before he wrote his magnificent symphony in G minor. If you are a fan of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies then you will love this hidden jewel from the Russian repertory.

Dmitri Shostakovich’s “Festive Overture” will open the program with rousing brass fanfares and spectacular color.

Tickets are $19 for adults, and $16 for seniors, students, military and teachers; each youth receives free admission when accompanied by a paying adult.
