Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 2 and The Bells

The Piano Concerto No. 2, one of the most beloved works in the repertoire, captivates with its sweeping melodies and rich lyricism, while The Bells, a spectacular choral symphony inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, unfolds with vivid colors and dramatic intensity. From the passionate romanticism of the concerto to the evocative and monumental sound world of The Bells, this program offers a compelling musical journey of virtuosity, poetry, and orchestral brilliance. Performed by the Orchestre Philharmonique et Chœur des Mélomanes under the direction of Francis Choinière, this concert features internationally renowned pianist Alain Lefèvre, alongside an outstanding vocal cast including Sydney Baedke (soprano), Sam Chamapgne (tenor), and Mikelis Rogers (baritone).
