The North Carolina Symphony, led by Symphony Associate Conductor David Glover, will perform Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto Tuesday, Jan. 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the Humanities and Fine Arts Center on the campus of Cape Fear Community College in downtown Wilmington. In addition to the “Emperor” concerto, which features pianist Inon Barnatan, the program will include Brahms “Tragic Overture” and “Suspend,” by Andrew Norman.

Celebrated for the unique approach, probing intellect, and consummate artistry that he brings to a broad range of repertoire, Israeli pianist Inon Barnatan currently serves as the first Artist-in-Association of the New York Philharmonic. This unprecedented three-season appointment sees him appear as soloist in subscription concerts, take part in regular chamber performances, and act as ambassador for the orchestra. Awarded the Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2009, Mr. Barnatan has performed extensively with many of the world’s foremost orchestras, including those of Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.
