Event Detail

Minnesota Orchestra
Osmo Vänskä, conductor
Garrick Ohlsson, piano

The concert that so many have been anticipating. Garrick Ohlsson, the first American to win Poland's International Chopin Competition, here plays the composer's meltingly beautiful Piano Concerto No. 2—and reveals that his Chopin interpretations have only deepened in the years since that early triumph. And Music Director Osmo Vänskä, acclaimed for his interpretations of Beethoven, Sibelius and so many other composers, gives his first Minnesota performance of Mozart's Symphony No. 40, a touchstone of Western art.
