Karina Canellakis conducts Tristan und Isolde & The Poem of Ecstasy | Alban Gerhardt plays Dvořák


  • John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Concert Hall 2700 F Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20566 United States (map)

Performances: Apr 10-12

Karina Canellakis takes on feats of musical storytelling in this visionary program. The Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde capture a passion more powerful than death itself; Scriabin’s symphonic Poem of Ecstasy intoxicates listeners with a whirlwind of color and perfume. Alban Gerhardt opens the concert with a performance of Dvořák’s famous Cello Concerto.
