OXFORD — The Miami University Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ricardo Averbach, will play a special end-of-the-semester concert at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9, in Hall Auditorium.

Admission is free.

Themed “Treasures from Behind the Curtain,” the program will feature forgotten masterpieces from Russia and Eastern Europe, including selections by Dvořák, Piazzolla, Shostakovich and others.

The orchestra will be joined by special guest pianist Michael Chertock, who will play “Totentanz” by Franz Liszt, in celebration of the composer’s bicentennial birth. Chertock is assistant professor of piano at the University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music and the conductor of the Blue Ash-Montgomery Symphony in Cincinnati. He has a successful career as an orchestral soloist and has appeared in numerous performances with orchestras across the country.

The concert is sponsored in part by the Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies.
