Chicago Symphony Orchestra continues its “CSO at Wheaton” series with pianist Seong-Jin Cho at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28, at Wheaton College's Edman Chapel, 401 E. Franklin St. in Wheaton.

In this concert, the cool of the Arctic meets the warmth of Italy. The brooding, majestic themes of Sibelius’ Fifth Symphony evoke the remote landscapes of conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali’s native Finland.

Tchaikovsky transports listeners to a Roman carnival in his “Capriccio Italien.”

Seong-Jin Cho, lauded for his “expert music-making … miraculous in its execution” by The New York Times, will take on Prokofiev’s incendiary Second Piano Concerto.

Tickets are $95 to $145, and available via cso.org.

The “CSO at Wheaton” performances are generously sponsored by the JCS Arts, Health and Education Fund of DuPage Foundation.

Support for the CSO at Wheaton series is provided by Megan and Steve Shebik.
