Salle: Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, Baltimore

Jonathon Heyward led the Baltimore Symphony in a Beethoven piano concerto along with a new Concerto for Orchestra by composer-in-residence James Lee III.

Jonathan Heyward's first season as BSO Music Director closed with an exciting world premiere from composer-in-residence James Lee III, alongside audience favorites old and new.

After going viral with Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto at the Cliburn two years ago, soloist and conductor tackle his Second with a balance of lyricism, wit and fire.

The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra dedicate their performance to former music director Yuri Temirkanov, who died last week.

Artistic advisor James Conlon presents a triptych of works by Adolphus Hailstork, Alvin Singleton and Joel Thompson next to an edgy, ironic reading of Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony.

The program also featured the debut of conductor Anna Rakitina, who led a stirring reading of Elgar's Enigma Variations.

An all-Beethoven concert by Markus Stenz and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra provided an opportunity to hear familiar, not-so-familiar and downright rare repertoire from the master's pen.
