Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
Edward Gardner by Mark Allan
The London Philharmonic Orchestra makes a rare visit to Carnegie Hall, led by its Principal Conductor Edward Gardner alongside violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, both making their debuts in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. The program showcases an emotional journey as Britten ploughs the depths of grief, Shostakovich whispers hidden truths, and Sibelius evokes the soaring flight of swans in his exhilarating Symphony No. 5. The concert also includes the upbeat, jazz-infused Raíces (Origins) by Tania León, Cuban-born New Yorker and LPO Composer-in-Residence.
