WashU Symphony Orchestra Concert: “Tapestry of Sounds” featuring pianist Nina Ferrigno

“Tapestry of Sounds,” featuring pianist Nina Ferrigno, brings together drama, virtuosity, and brilliant orchestral color. The WashU Symphony Orchestra moves from the operatic excitement of Verdi’s Nabucco Overture to Grieg’s dazzling Piano Concerto in A minor, followed by the St. Louis premiere of Armando Bayolo’s A Shelter that Filters the Sun. The evening wraps up with Britten’s lively Soirées Musicales—a colorful finale filled with dance, energy, and orchestral sparkle.
