Stewart Goodyear makes his return to the Peristyle stage on a program as both pianist and composer.  He performs one of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s most popular works – Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Goodyear says that the title of his work Life, Life, Life is something his mother would often say when she was feeling happy, exhausted, or exasperated. The Toledo Symphony performs the American premiere of this tribute to Goodyear's mother which captures her joy and spirit.
