Western Piedmont Symphony Orchestra: Russian Roulette

Aired: Sunday, June 10, 2018 @ 3:00 pm
Hosted by Lauren Rico

It’s a game you generally don’t want to play, but on this Carolina Live the Western Piedmont Symphony has a melodic kind of Russian Roulette for you.  That’s the title of a concert that features a tribute to Mozart by Meira Warshauer, one of Beethoven’s most famous piano works, the Emperor Concerto, plus the emotion of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 in e-minor.  It’s a musical game you’re sure to win if you join us for this edition of Carolina Live.
