RACHMANINOFF & FRIENDS!
Amadeus Concert Ensemble is delighted to invite everyone to its next free concert under the baton of ACE Artistic Director Brian Salesky as part of the Cathedral Concert Series at the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (711 S. Northshore Drive, Knoxville, TN). The program, titled RACHMANINOFF & FRIENDS, takes place on Sunday, May 31, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. and honors the composer whose statue in World’s Fair Park commemorates his final piano recital in Knoxville in 1943. The lavish, romantic program stars soprano Ashley Fabian (“immense warmth and scintillating spin”/Parterre Box) who scored a triumph in ACE’S GOLDEN AGE OF STRAUSS concert last season. Ms. Fabian will be heard in heavenly songs and dramatic arias by Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and Alyabyev. The Amadeus Concert Ensemble orchestra will be featured in three thrilling, popular works: Glinka’s Overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila, and Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Flight of the Bumblebee” and “The Three Wonders” from The Tale of Tsar Saltan.
Maestro Salesky remarked: “This concert promises ravishing music that the public rarely has an opportunity to experience in live concerts. Our soloist and orchestra are eager to perform these gems for our appreciative audience. ACE is deeply grateful to our generous sponsors for their support which allows us to present our performances without charge.”
