Windham Philharmonic Concert – Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 1

The Windham Philharmonic, with Music Director Hugh Keelan, performs Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 1 at the Latchis Theatre on Monday, May 5 at 7 p.m.

The Windham Philharmonic is committed to bringing our communities rich and varied programs. After grace and good humor, we dig deep into intense emotional states. Rachmaninoff composed his dramatic First Symphony in 1895. It was not appreciated or well received, causing creative crisis and trauma for Rachmaninoff. Since then, listeners and critics have praised it as “a dynamic representation of the Russian symphonic tradition,” as well as a forceful, gloriously triumphant work.

The symphony lasts approximately 50 minutes. Admission is by donation; baked goods will be available to purchase.
