ABOUT THIS CONCERT
The force of Beethoven’s genius is a palpable presence throughout his groundbreaking Eroica Symphony, commanding our attention from the dramatic opening chords to the triumphant conclusion. Emanuel Ax has amassed a lifetime of accolades, including seven Grammys, and his grace and unparalleled technique shine bright in Mozart’s exquisite Piano Concerto No. 25. Dedicated to her late father, Missy Mazzoli’s These Worlds in Us offers a powerful meditation on memory, grief, and joy.
