RACHMANINOFF’S PIANO CONCERTO WITH PER TENGSTRAND

April 9—7:00 pm8:30 pm

Join us on April 9 for our final installment of a special concert series celebrating 25 years of Music on Park Avenue, the acclaimed performance series curated by Swedish pianist Per Tengstrand that has been with Scandinavia House since its inauguration in 2000. In honor of Scandinavia House’s silver anniversary year, Tengstrand has presented a program of chamber music performances featuring distinguished guest musicians.

The most popular piano concerto ever written, played in a way you never heard before! For the final performance of the series, Tengstrand will present Peter Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat mahor, Op. 23, and other works by the legendary composer.  Students from Princeton University return to join Tengstrand in a version of this iconic work in an arrangement for piano and string quartet. We will also hear all the string players in solo pieces by Back, Frank and Bowen.

Thanks to a generous loan by Victor Borge’s grandson Finn, concerts will be performed on Victor Borge’s personal Steinway piano.
