Associate Conductor Aram Demirjian opens the concert with Ravel’s Rapsodie espagnole, feauturing seductive dances that progress to pulsating rhythms and competing melodies. Then hear Debussy’s incandescent seascape, La mer, which speaks to man’s irresistible attraction to the vast seas. Finally, pianist Joyce Yang tackles Rachmaninoff’s technically demanding and emotional Third Piano Concerto. Ovation & Masterworks Series
