We wrap up our 96th season with not one, but TWO pianists – the second prize winners of the 2019 PYP Piano Competition, presented by Portland Piano International. 16-year-old Zayan Akmal performs Oregon native’s Ernest Bloch’s Scherzo Fantasque for Piano and Orchestra, and 16-year-old Jenna Tu presents César Franck’s Symphonic Variations for Piano and Orchestra.

This performance also features Danish composer Carl Nielsen’s quirky and mysterious Symphony No. 3, “Sinfonia Espansiva.”
