Classical music lovers, mark your calendars! A world piano revolution is coming to the Pasadena Symphony on March 18, 2023. The acclaimed piano prodigy Alexander Malofeev will take the stage for a performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, accompanied by the Pasadena Symphony under the baton of Rebecca Tong, Resident Conductor of the Jakarta Simfonia Orchestra.
Malofeev’s meteoric rise in the classical music world has been nothing short of astonishing. At just 13 years old, he won the prestigious International Tchaikovsky Competition, and since then, he has become a true sensation, hailed by Der Standard as a catalyst for “a world piano revolution.”
And now, Malofeev is set to bring his electrifying talent to Pasadena, where he will perform Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 alongside one of Beethoven’s most celebrated works, the “Eroica” Symphony. It’s a program that promises to be a true tour de force, and a rare opportunity to witness the rise of a prodigious genius.
But the music won’t be the only thing on offer. The Pasadena Symphony has designed a vibrant experience for music lovers, social butterflies, and anyone looking for a memorable night out. Before the concert and during intermission, guests can enjoy the outdoor, tented Symphony Lounge, where they can indulge in delicious sandwiches, salads, desserts, coffee, cocktails, and fine wines from The Michero Family.
Of course, safety is a top priority, and the Pasadena Public Health Department recommends that all guests either be fully vaccinated or obtain a negative COVID-19 test prior to entry to Ambassador Auditorium. Masks are strongly recommended but not required, and the Pasadena Symphony reserves the right to update policies as conditions in the community evolve.
With tickets starting at just $40, this is an event that no classical music fan should miss. So mark your calendars for March 18, 2023, and get ready to witness the world piano revolution of Alexander Malofeev at the Pasadena Symphony.
