All the elements are in place for an unforgettable evening of music when a superstar pianist joins one of America’s legendary orchestras conducted by one of most innovative composers of our day. Kirill Gerstein, called “one of the distinguished classical artists of his generation” (The New York Times), performs a new piano concerto by Thomas Adès, the composer of the critically acclaimed opera The Exterminating Angel and a world-class pianist in his own right. Adès then shows why he is a much sought-after conductor when he directs Tchaikovsky’s tumultuous and melodically splendid Symphony No. 4.
