By Sandy Butler The Dearborn Symphony, along with Russian pianist Gleb Ivanov, will perform Edvard Grieg's powerful Piano Concerto during a special concert at 8 p.m. on April 12 at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center. This is the third time Ivanov will perform with the symphony, conducted by Kypros Markou.
