MTT conducts Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1

The incomparable Yefim Bronfman joins the Symphony for one of the towering masterworks of Russian Romanticism—and one of his signature offerings—Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto. MTT follows with Prokofiev’s otherworldly, outrageous, and over-the-top Third Symphony, based on material from the composer’s daring opera The Fiery Angel. The evening also features the West Coast premiere of a new work by the young Canadian composer Zosha Di Castri, commissioned as part of the SFS’s innovative New Voices partnership with the New World Symphony and Boosey & Hawkes.
