A dazzling whirlwind of sights and sounds

Joshua Weilerstein makes his triumphant return to the Philharmonic in this musical postcard celebrating the 250th anniversary of American Independence. Three joyous works each cast a different light on the sights and sounds of the USA, culminating in a performance of Antonín Dvořák’s love letter to America – his ‘New World’ Symphony. One of the most beloved and enduring works in the orchestral repertoire, Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 explores themes of identity, belonging, and the emotional pull of home.

Firebrand pianist Frank Dupree makes his BBC Philharmonic Orchestra debut in Kapustin’s breakneck Piano Concerto No. 4 – a dazzling whirlwind of a piece that marries jazz improvisation with relentless classical virtuosity. To open: Duke Ellington’s swaggering Harlem captures the energy, pride, and creativity of Harlem’s cultural renaissance. Blending big band swing with classical finesse, it’s a bold celebration of life in the big city.
