Minnesota Orchestra: Stravinsky and Brahms with Blechacz

There's an expression, "Good things come to those who wait," and it certainly applies this week at Classical MPR.

That's because back on March 31, we recorded a concert at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis that we're airing on Friday, July 21. Osmo Vänskä leads the Minnesota Orchestra in a performance of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring," after which they're joined by guest pianist Rafal Blechacz for a performance ofnthe gorgeous Piano Concerto No. 1 by Johannes Brahms.

Join host Brian Newhouse this Friday at 8 p.m. to listen to the broadcast of this amazing concert. (We can't wait for you to hear it.)
