Sibelius + Prokofiev · Atlanta · Feb 20, 2027

The young Israeli firebrand Tom Borrow tackles Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2, a witty and dramatic odyssey for piano and orchestra, widely regarded as one of the most difficult piano concertos in the repertoire. Conductor Hannu Lintu opens the concert with a musical mosaic spotlighting the orchestra's exceptional wind and brass choirs, and then leans into the ASO's extraordinary capacity for nuance and subtlety in a spooky work by Kaija Saariaho. The evening comes to a close with a stunning work by Jean Sibelius, the wonderfully atmospheric Symphony No. 7.
