Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Concerts in New York

This season, CMS follows the extraordinary creative evolution of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The renowned Schumann Quartett encounters him on March 15, 1770, on tour in Lodi, Italy, finishing his very first string quartet at 7:00 in the evening while waiting for a restaurant to open. Performers: The Schumann Quartett (Ensemble) Program: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Quartet in G major for Strings, K. 80/73f, "Lodi"; Igor Stravinsky: Three Pieces for String Quartet; Charles Ives: Quartet No. 2 for Strings; Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Quartet No. 1 in D major for Strings, Op. 11

Chopin Piano Competition winner Bruce Liu returns, this time performing Tchaikovsky’s rarely heard Piano Concerto No. 2. Nielsen’s The Inextinguishable Symphony closes the concert with elemental force, raging with snarling brass and culminating in a thunderous duel of timpani. Conductor Ryan Bancroft makes his New York Philharmonic debut. Program: Gubaidulina: Fairytale Poem; Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 2; Nielsen: Symphony No. 4, The Inextinguishable Performers: Ryan Bancroft (Conductor); Bruce Liu (Piano)
