The Walt Disney Concert Hall

Eun Sun Kim, music director for the San Francisco Opera, leads the LA Phil through the spiraling passages of Rachmaninoff’s riveting Third Symphony and a brand-new concerto grosso that spotlights the orchestra by the forward-thinking composer Nico Muhly. Then, an outstanding pianist “with an agile technique that allows him perfect clarity in the most complex textures, abundant sensitivity and refinement” (Gramophone) returns to Walt Disney Concert Hall. Alexandre Kantorow, winner of the prestigious Gilmore Artist Award, shows off his sensitive technique with Rachmaninoff’s ever-evolving Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.
