The Philadelphia Orchestra at Carnegie Hall

Rising superstar pianist Hayato Sumino is soloist in Gershwin’s blues-infused Piano Concerto, marking his orchestral debut at Carnegie Hall. Known for his quick-witted virtuosity across jazz and classical idioms, Sumino finds an ideal match in the music of Gershwin. In an anticipated centerpiece of Marin Alsop’s 2025–2026 Perspectives series and the United in Sound: America at 250 festival, this program also features a New York premiere by iconic American composer John Adams, co-commissioned by The Philadelphia Orchestra and Carnegie Hall. Selections from Prokofiev’s timelessly popular Romeo and Juliet round out the performance.
