Twist of Fate

The season’s opener begins with a fanfare of fate, which marks a poignant full circle for Francesco Lecce-Chong. He returns to the first piece he led with the Symphony: Tchaikovsky’s tempestuous Symphony No. 4. This high-octane program also features fiery virtuoso Maxim Lando in Liszt’s thrilling Piano Concerto No. 1 and a world premiere by Matt Browne, a celebrated alumnus of the First Symphony Project.
