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. 

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