The Alhambra Orchestra, conducted by Dr. Daniel Andai, presents its season finale concert on Sunday, May 6, 7:30 p.m. in Florida International University’s Wertheim Auditorium, 10910 SW 17 St.
The concert features two blockbuster works, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 with pianist Ciro Fodere.
The inspirational Fifth Symphony famously was performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic during the siege of Leningrad in 1941 in defiance of bombs that fell during the concert. Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 has been nicknamed “The Emperor” for its power and scope.
Soloist Ciro Fodere, piano professor at New World School of the Arts, is a prizewinning performer familiar to Miami audiences.
The Alhambra Orchestra is Miami’s community orchestra, with a mission of supporting classical music and music education. For this event, there is free admission and plenty of parking at reasonable rates. No tickets or reservations needed.
