Considering his performance at opening night last year was met with a boisterous embrace, it should come as no surprise that The Plano Symphony Orchestra has welcomed back the young and decorated 2009 Cliburn Gold medalist Haochen Zhang to open their 2014-15 season as well. The night opens with Glinka’s Ruslan and Ludmila Overture and closes with Dvorak’s Symphony No. 8; Beethoven’s poetic Concerto No.5, Emperor, stands as the evening’s centerpiece. With slithering lines, and the necessity of a strong voice amidst the heft of the orchestra, it takes an accomplished figure to properly navigate the piece. For the moment, the ever-forceful yet masterfully delicate Zhang seems like just the right man for the job. September 20 (8 PM) at Eisemann Center is the lone performance. Tickets range from $13 to $85. Additional information at planosymphony.org.
