“Intense…impressive…impossible to resist” – The New York Times The exceptional artistry of the Rotterdam Philharmonic comes to Washington, D.C., for the first time in more than two decades. Under the baton of Music Director Lahav Shani, the orchestra fosters a truly immersive experience for newcomers and music lovers alike. In this exclusive program, superstar pianist Daniil Trifonov joins the orchestra for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9 “Jeunehomme,” in a dazzling display of talent that will leave audiences spellbound. Also on the program are excerpts from Sergei Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, and Arvo Pärt’s moving and contemplative Swansong, based on the final lines of one of Cardinal Newman’s renowned sermons, both hymn-like and prayerful.
