    Music Director Keith Lockhart will lead pianist Ilya Yakushev in Prokofiev's Concerto No. 3 for Piano. The evening opens with Kodaly's Dances of Galanta, which was inspired by the gypsy bands that frequently passed through the small Hungarian town of Galanta. Next, Yakushev will join the orchestra for Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto. Although it wasn't well-received when it premiered in Chicago and New York, it went on to become one of the most famous piano concerti in the twentieth century. Audiences and soloists alike love it for its humor, knife-edged sonorities, acerbic harmonies, deeply-felt lyricism and especially its undisguised virtuosic brilliance. The evening closes with Bartok's ballet score The Miraculous Mandarin, which features sensational orchestration depicting the sensuous atmosphere and gruesome events that make up this tale of robbery, murder and uncounted acts of violence.
