Piano duo guest star on June 4

LONG BEACH SYMPHONY

The final concert of the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra’s 2021-2022 season will be held on Saturday, June 4, at 8 p.m. at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach. The main piece of music will be Rimsky-Korsakoff ’s beautiful and enchanting “Scheherazade,” which requires an orchestra that can be not only powerful but also delicate. Conducted by Maestro Eckart Preu, the LBSO will no doubt meet those requirements with flying colors. Included in the program will be the Silver-Garburg piano duo playing both Bach’s Concerto for two pianos and Poulenc’s Piano Concerto for two pianos, plus Abel’s “Global Warming.” The Israeli-born Sivan Silver and Gil Garburg have been playing together around the globe for two decades. Preu leads a pre-concert talk starting at 7 p.m.

Anyone who wants to attend the concert should call the box office at (562) 436-3203 or visit longbeachsymphony.org. Tickets may also be purchased at the box office the night of the concert.

The LBSO provides a bus for roundtrip rides from the bus hub near the LW Amphitheater. Bus tickets may be purchased on concert night at 5:15 p.m. for $20 per person with exact cash or a personal check made payable to the LBSO. Those with prepurchased bus tickets must arrive by 5:30 p.m., as the bus leaves promptly at 6 p.m.
