Hungarian favorites – and a gifted young pianist – highlight the concert of the Evanston Symphony Orchestra on March 16 at Pick-Staiger concert hall in Evanston at 2:30 p.m.
 
The concert features masterworks by two of Hungary’s greatest composers, Franz Liszt and Béla Bartók, plus the popular Second Symphony of Jean Sibelius.
 Conducted by Music Director Lawrence Eckerling, the orchestra will perform the folk music influenced “Dance Suite” of Bartók, and then feature virtuoso pianist Gleb Ivanov in  Liszt’s dazzling “Totentanz” (Dance of Death).
