Royal Scottish National Orchestra With Olga Kern

Alongside Van Cliburn Gold Medalist Olga Kern on piano, the RSNO, under the direction of Thomas Søndergård, will perform the US premiere of Paul Chihara’s A Matter of Honor, inspired by the words and actions leading up to the forced relocation of Japanese-American citizens during WWII, Rachmaninoff’s glittering Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony – forged in the flames of war, and dedicated, he said, to “the greatness of the human spirit.”
