The 2025–26 Season opens with two powerful, romantic musical statements: Rachmaninoff’s third piano concerto, rich in sweeping melodies and virtuosity, and Sibelius’s majestic Second Symphony, exuding emotion and an immense source of pride for Finland. Piano soloist Olga Kern, the first woman in more than 30 years to win the prestigious Van Cliburn competition, makes a welcome return to Tucson. Chávez’s short opener, Toccata, bursts with the rhythms and sounds of his native Mexico.
