Under the baton of NAC Orchestra Music Director Alexander Shelley, the Beethoven and Schumann Festival  concludes with the incomparable Rudolf Buchbinder. Performing for more than 50 years, and over  100 recordings to his credit, Buchbinder’s legacy leaves  a lasting impression in his rich interpretation of Beethoven’s dramatic Piano Concerto No. 4 .  Paired with Schumann’s ingenious fourth symphony you are in for a night of virtuosic intensity, driven by pure emotion. The Romantic Era bursts to life through these classical masterpieces.

“Beethoven was the most romantic of composers...when Beethoven wrote ‘espressivo’ –which he did a lot – he meant something deeply emotional, something extreme, something that would stop time as we know it.”

-Rudolf Buchbinder (interview with the Guardian, Aug 6, 2015)
