Beloved pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet returns to the desert for the first time since 2018 with the Pacific Symphony and Carl St.Clair. This program features Camille Saint-Saëns final and most exotic piano concerto, his Piano Concerto No. 5, which he composed while staying in the temple town of Luxor, Egypt. Beethovens Symphony No. 7 was regarded by Beethoven himself as one of his best works, and its timeless dance rhythms and melodies have helped this symphony secure its place as a favorite to many listeners.
