The Londontowne Symphony Orchestra’s Opening Night Celebration will feature highly acclaimed pianist Thomas Pandolfi in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in honor of the composer’s 150th anniversary year on Saturday, September 24, 7:30 p.m., at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts.

As the nation celebrates Hispanic Heritage month, the Orchestra will open the concert with José Pablo Moncayo’s “Huapango,” a highly rhythmic and spirited folk dance from Mexico. The evening will conclude with Sir Edward Elgar’s timeless, meaningful “Enigma Variations” – a set of fourteen variations on a theme he dedicated to his close friends and loved ones.
