Featuring a diverse selection of concerto excerpts, the program will spotlight virtuosic brilliance, emotional depth, and the delicate interplay between individual expression and collective unity. Each work invites the listener to experience the dynamic dialogue between soloist and orchestra — a conversation shaped and guided by Michaud’s insightful artistry and the culmination of his academic research. Don’t miss this powerful evening of music, where technical mastery meets musical storytelling in an unforgettable exploration of the concerto form.
