    SunTrust Classical Series presents Olga Kern Returns featuring Nashville Symphony, Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor, and Olga Kern, piano.

    Avner Dorman - New Work *
    Liszt - Totentanz, S. 126
    Shostakovich - Concerto for Piano No. 1 in C minor, Op. 35
    Barber - Medea's Meditation and Dance of Vengeance, Op. 23a

    Hailed for her mastery at the keyboard, soloist Olga Kern returns to the Schermerhorn to perform Franz Liszt’s Totentanz and Dmitri Shostakovich’s First Piano Concerto, the latter of which is unique in the classical repertoire for its sharp sense of humor. In addition to quoting Haydn, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, among others, Shostakovich gives a prominent role to the trumpet. Drawn from music that Samuel Barber wrote for a Martha Graham ballet, Medea’s Meditation and Dance of Vengeance is a piece of tremendous intensity that explores the destructive forces of jealousy and vengeance. The concert opens with a new piece by Israeli-American composer Avner Dorman, whose spontaneity and unique approach to composition have earned him growing acclaim.

    * Commissioned through the Magnum Opus Project
