Leon Bates, piano
The Waukesha Symphony's very first concert 60 years ago, in the wake of World War II, aptly paid homage to Beethoven. And so, it is with Beethoven's most heroic of concertos that we open our winter season, featuring one of America's greatest pianists, the incomparable Leon Bates. Two British masterworks from the 1940s, Britten's turbulent and unforgettable "Sea Interludes" from his opera Peter Grimes and the gorgeously pastoral Fifth Symphony of Ralph Vaughan Williams, serve as bookends to what will be two glorious evenings of celebration.
