Last night Ben played the first movement of the Tchaikowsky Piano Concerto no. 1 with the Oak Park River Forest High School Symphony Orchestra (his high school orchestra). Ben played with them because he was one of the winners of this year’s High School Concerto Competition.
This is the same piece he played two days ago, but it was fun to hear it with an orchestra and I especially liked how he played the cadenza this time (it starts at 15:45). Even on the school piano which has seen better days!
