This
month, Clef Notes is taking a look at a few of the international stars who have
performed inside Music Hall throughout its rich history. We are also
highlighting the various celebratory performances that take place in the hall
as part of its grand re-opening events this month.
Did
you know that the great pianist and composer Sergei Rachmaninoff performed on
the Music Hall stage not once, but three times? In 1910, he performed his
Second Piano Concerto alongside the CSO. He returned the following season and
years later during the 1937–38 season. He even was offered the position of
music director in 1918, but politely declined. He preferred to further his
career as a traveling virtuoso.
