Madison Symphony Orchestra

press release: This is the final rehearsal leading up to An Auspicious Debut: Marc-André Hamelin April 12–14. Mr. Hamelin joins the Madison Symphony Orchestra as a soloist in two works both before and after intermission: Strauss’s Burleske and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major. The concert opens with Mozart’s Symphony No. 38 and closes with Debussy’s La Mer.

Seating is limited for the open rehearsal. Registration is required, and opens on Monday, March 11.

Marc-André Hamelin brings his trailblazing prodigal piano talent to the collaborative minds of the Madison Symphony Orchestra for two European impressionistic compositions — Strauss’ Burleske and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G for his debut with MSO. Mozart’s Symphony No. 38 and Debussy’s La Mer complete the poetic program.

Pianist Marc-André Hamelin is known worldwide for his unrivalled blend of consummate musicianship and brilliant technique in the great works of the established repertoire, as well as for his intrepid exploration of the rarities of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries – in concert and on disc. Hamelin is the recipient of a lifetime achievement award from the German Record Critic’s Association. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada, a Chevalier de l’Ordre du Québec, and a member of the Royal Society of Canada
