About This Event

Enchantment, potions, and deep emotions suddenly transforming into passionate music. And it鈥檚 not just the star-cross鈥檇 lovers of Prokofiev鈥檚 great Shakespearean ballet score. Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Swan Lake is a story of love blossoming under the shadow of a dark magic. Missy Mazzoli鈥檚 new Violin Concerto, 鈥楶rocession鈥�, meanwhile, casts the soloist (in the composer鈥檚 words) 鈥榓s a soothsayer, sorcerer, healer and pied piper鈥�, playing music that begins with medieval charms and ends by reaching for the sky. It鈥檚 played tonight by its dedicatee Jennifer Koh, with the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Santtu Matias-Rouvali, at the end of his first (critically acclaimed) season as Music Director.
