The campus mall of Loma Linda University Health will be transformed into a concert venue for the San Bernardino Symphony on Sunday, May 4 at 5:00 p.m.
Conducted by Frank Fetta, the symphony will perform Tchaikovsky’s “Symphony No. 5” and Rachmaninoff’s “Piano Concerto No. 3.” Guest piano soloist Norman Krieger will perform during the latter.
The Tchaikovsky piece carries listeners through the full experience of the human condition—from sadness to celebration, from tragedy to triumph.
The Rachmaninoff concerto requires exquisite skill to perform; it is often said to be the most difficult piece of music ever written for piano.
A native of Los Angeles and trained at the Julliard School, piano soloist Krieger regularly performs with major orchestras throughout North America. He has also appeared as a guest soloist with orchestras in Hong Kong, the Czech Republic, Turkey, New Zealand, and Taiwan.
The performance will take place on the campus mall between Prince Hall and the Loma Linda University Church. Chairs will be available on a first-come first-served basis. It is suggested that guests bring a blanket to sit on.
The concert is free and open to the public. Picnics are welcome, and vendors will be on site offering food and drinks.
