Delaware County Symphony Presents Romantic Masters Symphony Concert
The Delaware County Symphony presents an unforgettable journey through the grandeur and emotional depth of the Romantic era in the Romantic Masters Symphony Concert on Sunday, December 6 at 3:00 PM.
Pianist Junwen Liang joins the orchestra as soloist in Franz Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 2, a captivating blend of virtuosity and lyricism that reveals the composer’s boundless imagination and brilliance at the keyboard. A distinguished performer and educator, Junwen Liang teaches piano and chamber music at the University of Pennsylvania and has performed extensively throughout the United States, Europe, and China, earning acclaim for his compelling artistry and exquisite musical interpretation. The program culminates in Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4, “Romantic,” a monumental orchestral masterpiece celebrated for its sweeping melodies, majestic brass chorales, and richly evocative orchestral colors. From its lyrical passages to its grand, dramatic climaxes, Bruckner’s symphony offers a powerful and unforgettable musical experience.
