Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin returns to Utah this weekend, this time with the Utah Symphony. He’ll play two works: Mozart’s delightful Rondo in A major, K. 386, and Richard Strauss’ demanding Burleske, a work that he’s recorded with Ilan Volkov, this weekend’s guest conductor.

Also on the program are two pieces by Béla Bartók: the Hungarian Sketches and the Concerto for Orchestra, a work that the Utah Symphony has frequently programmed.

The concerts take place Nov. 7-8 at 8 p.m. in Abravanel Hall. Tickets are $18-$69 and are available by calling 801-355-2787 or 888-451-2787 or by going online to www.utahsymphony.org. Prices increase $5 when purchased on the day of the concert.

On Nov. 6 at 4 p.m. Hamelin will participate in a free Q&A master class session facilitated by Utah Symphony principal keyboardist Jason Hardink. This will take place in the Learning Center at the Utah Opera Production Studios, 336 N. 400 West. Log on to www.usuoeducation.org/masterclass to register.
