Bold. Brilliant. Kaleidoscopic.

Grammy®-winning pianist Emanuel Ax delivers an unforgettable performance of Beethoven’s bold and brilliant Third Piano Concerto in Kalamazoo for one night only. Terence Blanchard’s opera Suite fuses elements of jazz and classical for an emotionally charged musical experience. Ravel’s La valse bursts into the concert hall with a kaleidoscope of color and rhythm, every note propelling us toward a whirling, twirling, wildly explosive finale.
