A banquet of music will be served up Saturday night in the grand hall of the Music Center at Strathmore, as the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra welcomes the powerhouse maestro of the St. Petersburg classical music scene, Vasily Petrenko. The Russian conductor presents two masterpieces from his country’s repertoire: “Capriccio Espagnol” by Rimsky-Korsakov to open the evening and Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 3 to close it out.

Sandwiched between these two, Irish pianist Barry Douglas, winner of the Gold Medal at the 1986 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition, Moscow, brings Franz Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1 to the table.
