The GRAMMY Award–winning Philadelphia Orchestra and Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin announce a musical journey of discovery, beauty, and inspiration: the 2023/24 season.
Nézet-Séguin will open the 2023/24 season—his 12th with the Orchestra—on September 28 with a special program featuring Yo-Yo Ma performing Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1. The concert includes performances of Jennifer Higdon’s Fanfare Ritmico as well as Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, part of the Orchestra’s continued commemoration of the composer’s 150th birthday.
Nézet-Séguin will lead the Orchestra in world premieres by some of today’s most celebrated composers. Brazilian-American composer Clarice Assad’s new concerto for Principal Bassoon Daniel Matsukawa will premiere alongside performances of Rachmaninoff’s First and Second Symphonies. Violinist Gil Shaham will perform the world premiere of GRAMMY Award–winning composer Mason Bates’s Violin Concerto, co-commissioned by the Orchestra and Nézet-Séguin. And the Orchestra will continue its relationship with acclaimed composer Valerie Coleman, performing the world premiere of her Concerto for Orchestra, her fourth commission for the ensemble.
Classical music’s biggest stars will take center stage throughout the season in a brand-new Spotlight recital series. Yo-Yo Ma will join pianist Kathryn Stott for an inspiring evening of cello and piano. Superstar pianist Yuja Wang will return. And the series will conclude with a performance by famed pianist Evgeny Kissin.
