Join the Peoria Symphony Orchestra as it launches its 2005-2006 season with this festive celebration of mastery in music and art.

Ippolitov-Ivanov's picturesque sketches and Prokofieve's early orchestral impression of Autumn offer some of Russia's greatest tone-painting. As piano soloist Antonio Pompa-Baldi's career continues to skyrocket, Antonio returns by popular demand with his passionate reading of Tchaikovsky's gigantic Piano Conerto No. 1. In conclusion, the Peoria Symphony Orchestra offers Mussorgsky's tour-de-force gallery tour, conceived for the piano and brilliantly orchestrated by Maurice Ravel.
