Sohn steps in for symphony dates

The Korean-American pianist Minsoo Sohn will replace Emanuel Ax in Richmond Symphony concerts on Oct. 25 and 26 at the Carpenter Theatre of Dominion Energy Center.

Ax canceled the dates due to a “scheduling conflict.” His website lists performances with the Austin Symphony in Texas on Oct. 24 and 25.

Sohn will be the soloist in Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, which Ax had been scheduled to play. The program, conducted by Valentina Peleggi, the orchrestra’s music director, also includes Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 in E minor and the Intermezzo from Pietro Mascagni’s “Cavalleria Rusticana.”
