Modesto Symphony Orchestra To Present Pianist Stephen Hough Virtual Recital January 14
MODESTO, CA - The Modesto Symphony Orchestra (MSO) will present a virtual recital featuring renowned pianist Stephen Hough and hosted by Associate Conductor Ryan Murray on Thursday, January 14 at 7:00 pm. The virtual performance will feature a variety of works by Bach, Schumann, and Liszt.
“We were lucky to have Stephen Hough perform with us last February before the start of the pandemic. He performed Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with a special encore each night and just dazzled the audience—some of our patrons even came back for his second performance,” said Caroline Nickel, President and CEO of the Modesto Symphony Orchestra. “Stephen is such a talented pianist, and we were thrilled to hear he had a recital that we could share with our community.”
This will be the MSO’s sixth free virtual event in its MSO at Home series. This recital will be shown live on the MSO’s YouTube channel. Recordings of this recital and other past MSO events will be available to watch at ModestoSymphony.org. All MSO virtual concerts are free of charge to help bring music to the community.
