Continuing the tradition for the fourth year, the Bryan Concert Organ takes center stage joined by the brass, wind and percussion sections of the symphony. Featuring organist Greg Zelek, this powerful program is sure to shake the rafters of Jacoby Symphony Hall.
International superstar pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet brings his rock-star panache to Jacksonville, performing one of his signature piano concertos with roots in America’s greatest musical gift to the world: jazz. Inspired by the American style’s adoption in Europe, Maurice Ravel’s G major Concerto features jazzy opening and closing movements that bracket a resplendent middle movement where time seems to stand still. Thibaudet follows with Gershwin’s variations on perhaps his most famous tune, “I Got Rhythm.”
