Performances: Nov 14, 16, 17

As the New York Times declares, Emanuel Ax’s performances are “never less than spellbinding.” Experience the power and passion of this modern master live as the seven-time Grammy winner performs Mozart’s fierce and far-reaching Piano Concerto No. 20. In a fitting finale for this concert led by former NSO Music Director Leonard Slatkin in his 80th birthday year, Walton’s Symphony No. 1 is a triumph of dark, ecstatic energy and unrestrained power from the very first note.
