Join us for an intense performance of Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 by Lisa Batiashvili with The Philadelphia Orchestra under Yannick Nezet-Seguin. This was the centerpiece of the last concert of the 2014/2015 season and a program the Orchestra took on its European tour, which was a stunning success.
And framing the performance by Ms. Batiashvili are two works that celebrate the Orchestra's rich history of commissions and world premieres: the unveiling of Nico Muhly's Mixed Messages, and a performance of Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 3, which the Philadelphians premiered in 1936.
It's a rebroadcast of The Philadelphia Orchestra in Concert, this Sunday, June 5 at 1 pm. Don't miss the last concert from the Orchestra's 115th season, right here on WRTI 90.1 FM and online at WRTI.org.
