Performer: Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla

John Williams put butts in seats with the New York debut of his Piano Concerto, but the NY Phil's first performances of Mieczysław Weinberg’s Symphony no. 5 stole the show.

The Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France impress mightily under the baton of their new Principal Guest Conductor. Gidon Kremer disappoints in Weinberg.

For the first time in its 165-year subscription series, a female conductor leads a Vienna Philharmonic subscription concert. 

Rafał Blechacz returned to the Concertgebouw to perform Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo.

After a five-year absence, Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla returns to the Philadelphia Orchestra for a rare performance of Anton Bruckner's commanding Sixth Symphony.

The pianist enchants with her Tchaikovsky, while the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia tackles an unfamiliar Weinberg symphony.

The Lithuanian conductor will join Jaap van Zweden in the titled roles of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France from September 2026.
