Carnegie Hall Presents

Israel Philharmonic Orchestra

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 8 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
Lahav Shani by Marco Borggreve, Pinchas Zukerman
Enjoy the first of the week’s three concerts by the storied Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Lahav Shani. Tonight only, they are joined by the great Israeli American violinist Pinchas Zukerman, who boasts one of the most jaw-dropping Carnegie Hall resumes of the past 60 years. Together, they present the Hall’s first-ever performance of Ben-Haim’s Violin Concerto, a true hidden gem that Zukerman himself only recently discovered. The program also features Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4, a musical rollercoaster known for its Beethoven-inspired “fate” motif and exhilarating finale.
