1. Beatrice Rana Plays Mendelssohn
Beatrice Rana performs Felix Mendelssohn’s youthful, exuberant Piano Concerto No. 1. The program opens with Weber’s Oberon Overture, the tuneful introduction to his opera based on a fantastical medieval French poem. Robert Schumann’s Rhenish Symphony vibrantly depicts the Rhineland’s landscapes, dances, and grand Cathedral at Cologne. Marek Janowski leads the Orchestra in his NY Phil debut.

4. Canellakis Conducts Messiaen and La Mer
Karina Canellakis conducts Debussy’s La Mer, which shimmers with a multitude of orchestral textures in its portrayal of the sea. Messiaen’s Les Offrandes oubilées is a profound expression of his devout faith, and Berg’s Violin Concerto — here performed by Veronika Eberle — blends modern compositional techniques with deep emotions. This concert begins with a musical meditation by Saariaho.

6. Rouvali Conducts Prokofiev and Shostakovich 
Santtu-Matias Rouvali leads the Orchestra in Shostakovich’s final symphony, an optimistic work full of quotations from his own and others’ music, including humorous evocations of Rossini’s William Tell Overture. Seong-Jin Cho — “already one of the most admired pianists of his generation” (Bachtrack) — is the soloist in Prokofiev’s fiendishly virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 2.

7. Hilary Hahn, Brahms & Blomstedt 
Three-time Grammy Award winner Hilary Hahn plays Brahms’s only Violin Concerto. Much more than a showpiece, it is a profound work of symphonic scale that redefined what a concerto could be. Legendary conductor Herbert Blomstedt also leads Schubert’s Sixth Symphony, in which the composer’s lyrical melodic writing is on full display

9. Alsop Conducts Brahms, Muhly & The Firebird 
Marin Alsop leads an inventive concert bookended by Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No. 3 and Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite — two works, operatic in their scope, that evoke heroic feats of rescue. Renaud Capuçon premieres a new work for violin and orchestra by Nico Muhly. Beethoven’s heir, Brahms, rounds out the program with his Variations on a Theme by Haydn.
