Featured Artist
Yannick Nézet-Séguin
Music and Artistic Director
On November 5, Yannick Nézet-Séguin leads The Philadelphia Orchestra in Jennifer Higdon’s Concerto for Orchestra—commissioned and premiered by The Philadelphia Orchestra in 2002.
Closing the program is Brahms’s Fourth Symphony, a brilliant study in contrasts. From its sweetly sad opening to its swirling flourish of a finale, this dynamic work leaves the listener breathless. This piece gives each section of the ensemble its moment to shine, delivering “wave after wave of intoxicating color” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).
