Rachmaninov’s poignant Third Symphony is permeated with dark reminiscences, glittering climaxes and yearning melodies that evoke the Russia he left behind. CSO Principal Clarinet Stephen Williamson solos in a new concerto by celebrated American composer Christopher Theofanidis. Complementing these works is Sibelius’ powerfully atmospheric Pohjola's Daughter, inspired by the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic detailing the creation of the cosmos.
