On Thursday evening, Cuban-born pianist Horacio Gutiérrez, along with conductor Rossen Milanov leading the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, demonstrated the power of the pianissimo in a sparkling and propulsive rendering of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58.

Audience’s choice: CSO to play special Sunday matinee
The 2016 election season may still be on the horizon, but Chautauquans are already busy casting their votes.
Musical Athleticism: Peled, CSO present shostakovich at his most authentic
Amit Peled is a multi-sport athlete: He plays basketball and cello. Torn as a teenager between pursuing sports or music, he threw himself toward music, resigning himself to the certainty that he would never be tall enough to play in the NBA.
