Celebrate 125 years of The Philadelphia Orchestra, one of the most consistently spectacular orchestras in the world. The ensemble kicks off its 2025–2026 Carnegie Hall season with Emanuel Ax as soloist in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3. A longtime friend of the orchestra, Ax is revered for Beethoven performances of great passion and nearly unrivaled nuance. The program opens with selections by one of America’s essential 20th-century composers—William Grant Still—whose lush Wood Notes suite suggests the natural wonders of the American south. The performance concludes with Brahms’s Fourth and final symphony, a rich culmination of the master composer’s work in the art form.
