CONCERNING CONCERTOS featuring Laura Melton

Explore two of the orchestral repertoire's most magnificent concertos.  Johannes Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1 in d minor (op. 15) stands as one of the most poignant and beautiful piano concertos.   An orchestral tour-de-force, the Bartok Concerto showcases our WSO musicians’ skill with one of the 20th century's most exhilarating and exciting works.

Dr. Laura Melton is the Coordinator of Applied Piano at Bowling Green State University.  She has been a prize winner in major international competitions and has appeared on radio and television, as well as at music festivals around the globe.
