Pianist Makoto Ozone makes his RPO debut in Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, an iconic fusion of jazz and classical style that remains one of the most beloved works in American music. Andreas Delfs leads a sweeping second half with Rachmaninov’s Symphony No. 2, a lush and expansive Romantic masterpiece filled with soaring melodies and dramatic intensity. This program pairs Gershwin’s brilliance with one of the great symphonic showpieces of the repertoire.
