Violinist Jennifer Koh has been called “fiercely gifted and intelligent” and “brilliant” (The New York Times). You’ll also hear Mahler’s expansive and heroic First Symphony, one of his most popular.

Award-winning pianist Jonathan Biss has been called “one of the most striking North American pianists of the new generation” (Toronto Globe and Mail). Bartók’s vibrant Concerto showcases the expressive power of the modern orchestra.

An evocative depiction of the American countryside, Copland’s Appalachian Spring includes the familiar Shaker tune “Simple Gifts.” And RPO Concertmaster Juliana Athayde takes on Piazzolla’s tango-inspired Four Seasons.

Stravinsky’s magical ballet The Fairy’s Kiss—paying homage to his hero Tchaikovsky—is paired with Tchaikovsky’s passionate Fifth Symphony. Van Cliburn silver medalist Barry Snyder performs Mozart’s intimate piano concerto.

Rachmaninoff ’s ravishingly beautiful Symphony No. 2 is a masterwork of late Romantic music. And Principal Oboe Erik Behr takes center stage for Richard Strauss’s virtuosic concerto.

Beethoven’s only opera, a tale of devotion and heroic valor, gets a rare concert performance. And “one of New York’s most exciting young cellists” (The New Yorker) performs Haydn’s First Cello Concerto.

Bach’s glorious Magnificat and his majestic orchestral suite (including “Air on a G String”) are paired with Respighi’s luminous Adoration of the Magi for a festive celebration of the season.

Beethoven’s towering Symphony No. 9 is one of his supreme achievements with its glorious setting of “Ode to Joy.” The concert opens with a masterpiece by French composer Lili Boulanger.

These French and Russian composers painted evocative pictures with their music. Russian-American violinist Philippe Quint (“brilliant technique and compelling personality” –Cincinnati Enquirer) shines in works by Saint-Saëns and Ravel.

Celebrate Black History Month with Schwantner’s piece featuring text by Martin Luther King, Jr., Duke Ellington’s Harlem, and Florence Price’s symphony. You’ll also hear Van Cliburn silver medalist Joyce Yang playing Gershwin.

We welcome back Conductor Laureate Christopher Seaman for Beethoven’s virtuosic Second Piano Concerto, with Rochester favorite Jon Kimura Parker, Bruckner’s rich and expressive Sixth Symphony, and Berlioz’s festive overture.

This preview of the RPO’s Carnegie Hall Spring For Music Festival performance—coming up on May 7, 2014—features a rare concert performance of Howard Hanson’s lyrical opera Merry Mount.

Shostakovich’s compelling Tenth Symphony has been called “the composer’s finest work … moving from bleak desolation to a triumphant finale” (Chicago Classical Review). Arutiunian’s virtuosic concerto features the RPO’s Douglas Prosser.

Holst’s sonic, celestial showpiece The Planets explores the planets’ astrological personalities. This is paired with selections from Walton’s stirring score to the film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry V, starring Laurence Olivier.
