Martha Argerich and the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, at Carnegie Hall (Site)

Friday October 20, 2017, 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

The rarely performed Sinfonia that Verdi wrote for the La Scala premiere of Aida is a full-fledged overture that reflects themes from the opera, while Respighi’s Fountains of Rome and Pines of Rome are spectacularly orchestrated tone poems that evoke the beauty of the Eternal City. To add to the festivities, Martha Argerich returns to Carnegie Hall after a nine-year absence to play Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3—one of her specialties.
