Pianist Orion Weiss, Music Director Osmo Vänskä, and the Minnesota Orchestra perform the first movement of Chopin's Second Piano Concerto in the first performance with a live audience at Orchestra Hall in over 15 months.

This intimate concerto, written when Chopin was just 19, relegates the orchestra to the shadows in favor of the composer’s signature instrument. Its famous middle movement is slow and operatic, an outpouring of youthful love.
