Additional Info

Pianist Tony Siqi Yun approaches Rachmaninoff with “deep expressiveness” and “pure adrenaline” (The Philadelphia Inquirer), qualities that have marked him as the preeminent classical superstar born in this century. The electrifying ardor of Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto is echoed in the mystical fervor of Christopher Theofanidis, a dazzling composer who owes so much to his champion Robert Spano. This dynamic conductor is known for amplifying American music that deserves to be heard, like The Glass Bead Game, a multidimensional brain-tickler commissioned by the LO four decades ago.

FAQs

What if I am late or need to leave early?

At most of our venues, if you arrive after the concert has begun, an usher will seat you at an appropriate time, such as during applause or intermission. At the Kentucky Center, monitors located in the lobby allow you to follow the performance while you wait.

How long is the concert?

Concert length varies, but we recommend planning for about two hours, including an intermission. Digital programs include the specific music run-time, which can give you a better idea of the concert length. Please note that music run-time only covers the pieces being performed and does not account for speaking between pieces, applause, etc.

What security can I expect?

At The Kentucky Center, Old Forester Paristown Hall, and The Louisville Palace, you will go through security checkpoints upon entry. Expect to pass through a metal detector, and note that all bags may be searched. Outside food and beverages are not allowed inside. Check each venue's Visitors Guide for more details:

For events at outdoor or alternate venues, please check your email for "Know Before You Go" information, sent to the email of the ticket purchaser. For further questions, contact our Patron Services team at 502.587.8681.

What should I wear to the concert?

Come as yourself! There’s no dress code, so wear what makes you feel comfortable. You’ll see everything from business and cocktail attire to casual and creative styles.

Can I use my phone during the performance?

We ask all audience members to silence their phones before the performance begins. Photos and videos are prohibited, as light from screens can be distracting.

Are food and drink available?

Snacks and drinks are sometimes available for purchase before the concert and during intermission. Alcoholic beverages are available for guests 21+ with a valid ID. We recommend dining before the show; check out our interactive map for nearby hotels, restaurants, and parking options.
