Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G

OVERVIEW

One of Ravel’s final completed works, the Piano Concerto in G is a fitting testament to his unique genius—and pianist Ingrid Fliter’s profound musicianship and charisma is a perfect match for this breathtaking and colorful tour-de-force. The symphonic poem Winter Bells by Polina Nazaykinskaya is an ode to the whispers of nature and divine harmony, and Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet acts as a masterclass for storytelling through music.

This performance is part of our Masterworks Magnified series, designed to invite audiences to experience our music in new ways—with added elements like video projections and special lighting in the concert hall, conversations with the performers, and fun lobby activities on theme with the concert.

With the help of the IMAG video-enhanced performance, audiences will be able to see the physical demands of Ravel’s Piano Concerto through up-close views of piano soloist Ingrid Fliter and orchestra musicians, projected on a giant screen.

A post-concert Q&A session with composer Polina Nazaykinskaya—whose work “Winter Bells” represents the arduous journey of a traveler fighting his way through a deadly blizzard—promises an enlightening conclusion to this extraordinary evening.
