Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra: The Journey Begins

The HPO season opens with a grand symphonic adventure! 

James S. Kahane, Conductor 
Roman Rabinovich, Piano 

Embark on an exciting musical journey with your HPO in its season-opening concert with the early ‘hits’ of iconic composers! Music Director James Kahane leads the Orchestra in Sibelius’ En Saga, described by the composer as “an adventure in an inner landscape” while Abigail Richardson Schulte’s Eris evokes the icy planetoid, telling the tale of the disruptive Greek goddess. More thrills abound in the teenage Shostakovich’s sensational First Symphony and Roman Rabinovich stars as the brilliant protagonist in Prokofiev’s daring First Piano Concerto.
