Performer: Ricardo Morales

Beginning a two-week residency, Esa-Pekka Salonen juxtaposed a work of his own with selections from two composers with which he is deeply identified: Sibelius and Steven Stucky.

Philadelphia Orchestra principal Ricardo Morales also offers grace and unassuming virtuosity in Mozart's Clarinet Concerto.

A season in Verizon Hall rarely goes by without a performance of Dvořák’s New World Symphony, yet the Principal Guest Conductor brings new insights to the fore of this familiar piece.
