UPDATE: Yesterday, due to technical difficulties, we were unable to broadcast the Philadelphia Orchestra's live performance from Hamburg as scheduled. The good news: we recorded the concert and we'll bring it to you today—Wednesday, May 30th, at 3 PM Philadelphia time—on WRTI 90.1, streaming at WRTI.org, and on the WRTI App. Gregg Whiteside, on tour with the Philadelphians, is your host.
The broadcast features the Orchestra playing in the spectacular, new glass-domed concert hall, the Elbphilharmonie.
Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts. Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet is soloist. More about the simulcasts.
The Philadelphia Inquirer's David Patrick Stearns calls the Elbphilharmonie, built on top of a warehouse along the Elbe River, an architectual wonder.
PROGRAM:
Bernstein: Symphony No. 2 for Piano and Orchestra ("The Age of Anxiety" after W.H. Auden)
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4 in F minor
Yannick Nézet-Séguin, conductor
Jean-Yves Thibaudet, pianist
During intermission, you'll hear interviews with Philadelphia Orchestra Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin and soloist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, as well as Concertmaster David Kim and Principal Horn Jennifer Montone.
David Patrick Stearns' coverage of The Philadelphia Orchestra on Tour is made possible by a partnership between the Philadelphia Inquirer and WRTI.
The Philadelphia Orchestra on Tour simulcasts are sponsored by Stingray Classica and Foulkeways at Gwynedd
