Ronaldo Miranda Temporal Variations (Beethoven Revisited)
Sergei Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43
Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92

Lehninger’s roots in Brazil are reflected in his choice of the Ronaldo Miranda’s Temporal Variations. We then move to one of the greatest of the variation structures, Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. That is one of the great compositions of the classical music literature, played exquisitely by our superb soloist for this performance, Natasha Paremksi. The program will conclude with another great work, the Symphony No. 7 by Ludwig van Beethoven. This is a dynamic symphony, and Beethoven understood it to be one of his best compositions. It will leave you excited and happy to hear one of the great pieces in the classical canon. We bring the season to a close with the last program echoing the first program, binding the season into a musically integrated whole.
