The evening opens with the World Premiere of Mark Rheaume's Entrance Fanfare, written to celebrate the ISO's history and bright future followed by an electrifying sprint through Smetana's Bartered Bride Overture. Award-winning pianist Ran Dank debuts with the ISO in Bartok's lyrical Third Piano Concerto.
