The world premiere of a new piano concerto from  Lansing Symphony Composer-in-Residence Patrick Harlin is just weeks away, coming up June 2. He calls it "The Fourth Pedal" and it is a beautiful and exciting work. We are thrilled to be inviting pianist Clayton Stephenson back to play the premiere. Clayton played with us last season, wowed the audience and Patrick, so it was a perfect match for a return engagement.

It will be the last concert for Patrick as our Composer-in-Residence. His three-year appointment has come to an end. He will be greatly missed as he far exceeded all expectations in every way.

Sibelius Second Symphony and Grieg's Lyric Suite will round out the program. I hope you can join us if you are in the area.
