Apparently, Maurizio Pollini will be performing with the Chicago Symphony late April. I wish I could be here for it - other than being confident it will be a superb performance, it'll be wonderful to treat my girls to the collaboration of two of their grandfather's favorite musicians, pianist Pollini and conductor Riccardo Muti. Interestingly, they are both Italian, both graduates of the Giuseppe Verdi Music Conservatory in Milan.
The piece they will be collaborating on April 25-27 is Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21. Another wonderful composition that will be showcased is Schumann Symphony No. 3 (Rhenish), as well as Beethoven's Consecration of the House Overture and Mendelssohn's Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage Overture. A pretty good lineup, I would say.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
James 1: 16
