Carnegie Hall's Opening Night Gala

Welcome the joyous return of live performances with Carnegie Hall’s Opening Night Gala. The Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin launches our exciting season with Rachmaninoff’s passionate Piano Concerto No. 2—featuring superstar pianist Yuja Wang—and Beethoven’s rousing Symphony No. 5. Beethoven’s love of nature inspired Iman Habibi’s Jeder Baum spricht, a powerful reflection on climate change, while Valerie Coleman’s Seven O’Clock Shout honors frontline workers and the human spirit’s resilience in the time of the pandemic. Celebrate the return of the music you love where it sounds best: Carnegie Hall.
