Sir Stephen Hough: a pianist whose effortless brilliance at the keyboard has been described as little short of genius. John Wilson: the Newcastle-born conductor who knows how to make an orchestra sound like a million dollars. Put them together and sparks will fly – whether in Rachmaninov’s showstopping concerto, Ravel’s sumptuous dream waltz or Vaughan Williams’ glorious technicolour portrait of a great city in all its bustling, glittering life. Trust us: this is going to be special.

Imagine an explosion of love on a cosmic scale. Mix in 1940s film score, a pounding rhythmic workout and the sounds of a Javanese gamelan, all washed in blissful impressionist colours. Now add a huge orchestra, a world-class pianist and a vintage electronic instrument straight out of science fiction and you’re still not even halfway to imagining Messiaen’s mind-boggling Turangalîla-Symphonie. 77 years after its premiere, it still sounds like nothing on earth.

Five-time GRAMMY Award-winning Nicaraguan conductor Giancarlo Guerrero leads the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in a south-of-the-border immersion, packing plenty of heat into a fusion of Afro-Caribbean, Central and South American traditions, including the tango-infused Sinfonía Buenos Aires. The renowned Venezuelan soloist Pacho Flores dips into Mexico's rich trumpet-playing tradition for a piece written by him and for him by Arturo Márquez.

Arvid Engegård conducts symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Robert Schumann, each of which reshaped the symphonic genre with deeper, darker undertones: Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 and Schumann’s Symphony No. 4. Between the symphonies, Arne Nordheim’s reflective memorial piece Nachruf for strings will be performed.

You know when you’re asked to do something and your gut reaction is, “Absolutely not!” and then you can’t get the idea out of your head? That’s exactly what happened to 80-year-old Richard Strauss when a young American oboist suggested he write a concerto. Thank goodness he gave it more thought.

Described as “superb” by the New York Times, violinist Tai Murray creates a special bond with listeners through her personal phrasing and subtle sweetness. Her PCMS return with pianist Gilles Vonsattel begins with Beethoven, followed by a pair of works by groundbreaking Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz. Concluding the program are Georges Enescu’s second violin sonata, which fuses Romanian folk elements into the classical sonata structure, and Karl Goldmark’s delightful Suite in E Major.

Seduction is the subtext in this program that pairs Richard Strauss’s portrait of the famous fictional philanderer and Ravel’s Bolero, whose relentless pulse mirrors the beat of desire. Beyond the bedroom, we turn our gaze to galaxies far, far away, as Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Kevin Puts’sContact imagines encounters with other beings.

Soprano and conductor Barbara Hannigan, one of the singular artists of our time, transforms Poulenc’s one-act opera into a harrowing multimedia experience depicting the final conversation between ex-lovers. Also on the program: Richard Strauss’s Metamorphosen, a profound memorial for human culture devastated by war.

Join Music Director Xian Zhang and superstar pianist Daniil Trifonov for an evening of French elegance. Saint-Saëns’ Second Piano Concerto is full of wit and quick humor that turns on a dime. From a stern Bach-like fantasia to a dancing frenzy, it’s the perfect vehicle for one of the world’s greatest pianists. Fauré’s Pavane serves as an even-tempered prelude, serene and as courtly as the dance that inspired it. On a different scale, Franck’s Symphony — the only one he wrote — dates from the height of his powers and reveals a composer questing for new sounds and sonority to deliver music to feed the soul.

Since 2010, Anneleen Lenaerts has been the principal harpist of the Vienna Philharmonic, and in 2024 she visited the Musikkens Kammerklub in a concert with the Swiss flutist Emmanuel Pahud. Now she is the soloist in Glière's rarely performed but very beautiful harp concerto.
