Thank you to everyone who came out for our second Masterworks performance of the season to see Drew Petersen play Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto! We received endless high praise from concert-goers as well as requests to have Drew return. Here are a few of our favorite comments from audience members. For those who were there, you just might see Drew back in Charleston in the future...
"This young man [Drew Petersen]'s performance of the treacherous Rach 3 was absolutely perfect -- tantalizing, bombastic, dreamy, scary, soothing, everything it should be."
"A truly magnificent performance. I don't believe I've ever heard Rachmaninoff played as well. I especially loved the tender touch and emotion that he put into his playing."
"That was an incredible performance tonight! I have never heard Rachmaninoff's 3rd played so sensitively. He found the nuances I've never heard before tonight."
"The rehearsal left me feeling like I was walking on a cloud. Drew IS the music! Extraordinary playing!"
