AMADEUS CONCERT ENSEMBLE presents RACHMANINOFF & FRIENDS

Amadeus Concert Ensemble invites everyone to its final FREE ADMISSION concert of the season: RACHMANINOFF & FRIENDS, on May 31, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. at the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (711 S. Northshore Drive, Knoxville).

The ACE season reaches its climax honoring RACHMANINOFF, the composer whose statue in Knoxville's World’s Fair Park commemorates his final piano recital in Knoxville in 1943. The lavish, romantic program stars soprano Ashley Fabian (“immense warmth and scintillating spin”/Parterre Box) who scored a triumph in ACE’S GOLDEN AGE OF STRAUSS concert last season. Ms. Fabian will be heard in heavenly songs and dramatic arias by Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and Alyabyev. The Amadeus Concert Ensemble orchestra, under the baton of Maestro Brian Salesky, will be featured in three thrilling, popular works: Glinka’s Overture to RUSLAN AND LYUDMILA, and Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Flight of the Bumblebee” and “The Three Wonders” from THE TALE OF TSAR SALTAN.

Free reservations are available starting September 29 at shcathedral.org/cathedral-concert-series/.
