Chicago Symphony Orchestra
CSO at Wheaton: Seong-Jin Cho Plays Prokofiev
Feb 28, 2025 — 7:30 PM
Overview
The cool of the Arctic meets the warmth of Italy. The brooding, majestic themes of Sibelius’ Fifth Symphony evoke the remote landscapes of conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali’s native Finland. Tchaikovsky transports listeners to a Roman carnival in his Capriccio Italien. Seong-Jin Cho, lauded for his “expert music-making … miraculous in its execution” (The New York Times), takes on Prokofiev’s incendiary Second Piano Concerto.
This program will also be performed at Symphony Center on February 27, March 1 & 2.
