PUMPKIN SPICE

Nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice. Nostalgia, warm fuzzies, zeal. Pianist Kirstin Ihde is the featured artist, performing Sergei Prokofiev’s rhapsodic first piano concerto, full of flirtatious bombast, on par with the famed PSL. Gustav Holst’s "A Somerset Rhapsody" is heard, fitting for the season, reminiscent of apple and pumpkin picking with the family, dog in tow. César Franck’s masterful symphony rounds out the fall program, rich, smooth, luscious. Drink up!
