Boulder Symphony Performs Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 2

From start to finish, Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 is melodic, impressive, and creative. And the Colorado premiere of Anna Clyne’s “Dance” Cello Concerto, featuring Boulder Symphony’s own Erin Patterson, is a story in five movements based on Rumi’s five-line poem:

Dance, when you’re broken open.

Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off.

Dance in the middle of the fighting.

Dance in your blood.

Dance, when you’re perfectly free.

Program:

• Jean Sibelius – “Finlandia,” Op. 26
• Anna Clyne – “Dance” Cello Concerto, feat. Erin Patterson
• Sergei Rachmaninoff – Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27
