Yannick Conducts Rachmaninoff

October 13th 2023 at 14:00 – 16:00

Fan’s choice: Pick your performance, pick your Rachmaninoff symphony! Rachmaninoff’s dark, brooding First Symphony swirls with drama and mystery, the perfect accompaniment to an autumn night, as the leaves drift along the pavement. His Second Symphony is lushly textured, warm, and melodious.

The concert begins with artists speaking across two centuries, with 20th-century composer Luciano Berio’s take on a gem by Baroque master Luigi Boccherini, beautifully capturing the sounds of Madrid at night.

The heart of this brilliantly hued program is the world premiere of a new concerto created for Philadelphia Orchestra Principal Bassoon Daniel Matsukawa by Clarice Assad, a Brazilian-American composer hailed for her evocative colors, rich textures, and stylistic range.
