What happens when Garrick Ohlsson, the first (and still only) American pianist to win the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw, joins forces with The Cleveland Orchestra, "America's finest" (The New York Times), and their esteemed music director Franz Welser-Möst? Pure magic, of course—and you can catch every note here as the legendary Ohlsson performs the culmination of Mozart's historic contribution to piano literature: the 27th and final piano concerto, a serene and lyrical B-flat masterpiece written soon before his death. The Cleveland Orchestra and Welser-Möst close out the evening with Bruckner's beloved "Romantic" Symphony No. 4, a nickname given by the composer himself to what may have been his most extensively revised work. By turns bellicose and rustic, the Fourth evokes the sounds of a medieval city and forest, including a brassy call to the hunt, before coming to a grand climactic finish.
