Pasadena Symphony: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini Tickets

Multiple award-winning pianist Natasha Paremski performs this diabolically difficult rhapsody with a “flair for the way Rachmaninoff must be played” (Chicago Tribune).

As part of our Composer’s Showcase, Patrick Harlin wrote Earthrise after he was denied a seat on Elon Musk’s Space X flight. The piece is inspired by the iconic photo taken on the first-ever trip around the moon and is part of the California Festival: A Celebration of New Music, conceived by the LA Phil, San Diego and San Francisco Symphonies.
