About this Concert

Dedicated to Music Director Stéphane Denève and the SLSO, Kevin Puts’ Concerto for Orchestra is a complex, beautiful, and satisfying emotional journey. This music resonates in Powell Hall alongside a new work by Chinese composer Jasmine Guo and Beethoven’s magnificent, heroic Emperor Piano Concerto, performed with finesse by the SLSO’s good friend, acclaimed pianist Víkingur Ólafsson.
