Sunday, March 30 at 4 p.m. —RUTLAND— The Champlain Philharmonic returns to Grace Congregational Church for its spring concert series featuring acclaimed pianist Diana Fanning. Celebrating its 21st season, the orchestra welcomes Fanning, who will perform Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3—the same piece she performed in the Philharmonic’s inaugural concert two decades ago. Fanning, renowned internationally for her solo and chamber performances, brings deep musicality praised by critics for her “rich spectrum of subtle colors and tonal nuances.”
Continuing its tradition of showcasing Vermont composers, the program will premiere “Among the Hidden,” composed by Patricia Julien, a professor at the University of Vermont. The concert also includes Manuel De Falla’s spirited “Ritual Fire Dance,” Borodin’s rarely performed Symphony No. 3 (completed by Alexander Glazunov after Borodin’s death), and a special performance accompanying the animated short film “Two Balloons,” which tells a touching love story of two lemurs.
Tickets ($5-$15) are available at the door (cash or check only) or online.
