When asked what you can expect, Christian Reif replied “the whole concert is very magical…” Listen to the full interview above.
Christian Reif and Alexi Kenney will be performing Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 3 and Bela Bartok’s Violin Concerto No. 2 with the Louisville Orchestra tonight, April 1 at 7:30pm at the Kentucky Center.
