SHOULDERS OF GIANTS
JAN 18
Paavo Järvi, conductor
Denis Matsuev, piano
SHOULDERS OF GIANTS
A reviewer once called Denis Matsuev the “virtuosic Hercules of the Steinway.” The popular and powerful pianist returns for Tchaikovsky’s gorgeous concerto, featuring extensive violin and cello solos for the CSO’s principal players. Tüür’s plaintive homage and Mahler’s First Symphony, known for its spectacular sonic effects, bookend the program

BEYOND THE SEA
FEB 22
Robert Porco, conductor
Brett Polegato, baritone

BEYOND THE SEA
It's not often we get to hear this Baroque beauty in the concert hall, yet Handel’s Water Music continues to delight and inspire nearly 300 years after it was written. Awash in a sonic waves of pleasure, the lush Sea Symphony of Vaughan Williams honors the sea, imitates the perfect storm, admires the stars and bids us to sail forth and explore.

MIDORI PLAYS MENDELSSOHN
APR 26
Paavo Järvi, conductor
Midori, violin

MIDORI PLAYS MENDELSSOHN
A reigning superstar of the violin, the incomparable Midori returns for Mendelssohn’s brilliant showpiece, complete with dazzling passagework, tender melodies and harmonic flights of fancy. French gems bookend the program, with the thrilling Organ Symphony bringing the concerts to a spectacular close.
