Imperial Elegance
Waukesha Symphony begins their winter season with
Rachmaninov's grandest concerto, the massive and spine-tingling "Rach
3," the subject of the movie Shine.
The gifted young American pianist Andrew Armstrong, making a fine reputation

with aplomb. Our first half is a bouquet of gems from the late 19th century,
from Dvorak's beloved Carnival
to the riotous Till Eulenspiegel's Merry
Pranks of the young, rebellious Richard Strauss. Carroll University, Shattuck
