GUEST PIANIST JOINS SYMPHONY FOR EVENING OF ROMANCE
The Roanoke Star, VA
Feb 3 2015
The Roanoke Symphony Orchestra's upcoming masterworks concert
features Armenian-American pianist Tanya Gabrielian, who will perform
Tchaikovsky's romantic and inspiring first piano concerto, along with
pieces from Mozart and Ralph Vaughn Williams.
The program is set for 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 17 and is presented by the
Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech. It will be held in the Anne and
Ellen Fife Theatre, located within the Moss Arts Center's Street and
Davis Performance Hall at 190 Alumni Mall.
Guest soloist Gabrielian has performed around the world and rose to
international acclaim after receiving first prizes in the Scottish
International Piano Competition and the Aram Khachaturyan International
Piano Competition, as well as the Pro Musicis International Award.
Gabrielian will join the orchestra, which is led by music director and
conductor David Stewart Wiley, for an evening of music that includes
Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto no. 1, in B-flat Minor, op. 23; Mozart's
Symphony No. 36 in C, "Linz;" and Vaughn Williams' "Fantasia on a
Theme by Thomas Tallis."
Tchaikovsky's work epitomizes the romantic piano concerto. It was the
first Russian piano concerto to enter the standard concert repertoire,
and it has remained one of the most popular concertos ever written.
The program is supported in part by a touring grant from the Virginia
Commission for the Arts.
Tickets can be purchased online; at the Moss Arts Center's box office,
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on
Saturday; or by calling 540-231-5300.
