Pianist Orion Weiss will join the symphony when it plays Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg's Piano Con certo. Weiss has earned a slew of honors, including, most recently, a 2019 Andrew Wolf Chamber Music Award.
"This is his third time performing with us," President and CEO Nicola Reilly told The Pine Cone. "He's like the Energizer Bunny — he brings so much positivity, joy and life into everything he does."
The program also includes 19th-century Austrian composer Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 9 and contemporary composer Jonathan Bailey Holland's Dream Elegy.
