Atlanta Symphony Hall: Michelle Cann

CRITIC’S PICK: The “wonderfully expressive virtuoso” Michelle Cann will play Sergei Rachmaninov’s popular Piano Concerto No. 2 with guest conductor David Danzmayr leading the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. “Even its more reserved moments will have you cradling your head in your hands, begging for mercy,” a Classic FM writer warned. The epic piece, reportedly dedicated to Rachmaninov’s shrink, will be followed by Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 7; the concert opens with “Short Piece for Orchestra,” described as “a lively and somewhat raucous piece” written by composer Julia Perry. — Kevin C.
