The UMD Symphony Orchestra welcomes 2013 Concerto Competition Winner Christopher Wong to the stage to perform Prokofiev’s brilliant Piano Concerto No. 3.

With agitated and mournful fanfares in the Trauermarsch and yearning melodies in the Adagietto for harp and strings, Mahler’s Fifth Symphony expresses an astounding breadth and intensity of emotion, and is a favorite among audiences.

The Music in Mind series celebrates the role of music in our culture and our lives, explores sources of inspiration and points of intersection in musical traditions, and presents music in a context that encourages reflection and discovery. Proceeds from Music in Mind concerts benefit the UMD School of Music’s undergraduate scholarship fund.
