Yannick Nézet-Séguin Conductor
Hélène Grimaud Piano
Wolfe Pretty (Philadelphia Orchestra co-commission)
Farrenc Symphony No. 1
Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1
Women artists take center stage in these concerts! Pianist Hélène Grimaud brings “astonishing proficiency and poetic sensibilities” (The Washington Post) to Brahms’s First Piano Concerto; 19th-century composer Louise Farrenc’s surging, Romantic First Symphony beguiles with mystery and melody; and Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Julia Wolfe’s Pretty is a raucous, rhythmic romp.
