One of today’s most sought-after artists, pianist Víkingur Ólafsson, will join the orchestra on tour, performing Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto. In addition to Ólafsson’s performances of Grieg’s Piano Concerto, the program includes the rarely performed The Love for Three Oranges Suite by Sergei Prokofiev, and Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances.
The SLSO invites St. Louisans to hear the tour program at its home in Powell Hall for a one-night-only concert with Ólafsson on Thursday, March 16, 2023, at 7:30pm CST.
