Stravinsky’s ballet The Rite of Spring scandalized listeners at its premiere in 1913, but the work has since stood the test of time as one of the composer’s finest creations and one of the greatest orchestral works of the 20th century. Klaus Mäkelä pairs this showpiece with Gershwin’s toe-tapping Concerto in F, performed by esteemed French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and a cheeky curtain-raiser by Milhaud.

Rafael Payare leads this brilliant Romantic-meets-Modern program that opens with Sofia Gubaidulina’s dynamic Fairytale Poem. Jean-Yves Thibaudet brings his dazzling style and theatricality to 20th-century composer Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto. The second half features Beethoven’s towering Symphony No. 3—an ode to heroism, revolution and freedom.
