Performer: The Philadelphia Orchestra

The Philadelphia Orchestra closed its season by pairing Berlioz's epic Symphonie Fantastique with Walkabout, a concerto for orchestra that investigates composer-in-residence Frank's Peruvian heritage.

Yannick Nézet-Séguin combines the composer's unfinished Ninth Symphony, Te Deum and the motet Christus factus est to create an ultimate realization of religious faith and artistic expression.

Guest conductor Matthias Pintscher pairs Webern's "idyll for large orchestra" with Richard Strauss' Oboe Concerto, featuring an elegant Philippe Tondre as soloist.

Personnel changes plague the world premiere of Vespers of a Blessed Earth, which sounds an urgent musical alarm on the harms of climate changes.

The Ukrainian-Finnish conductor finds fresh insight in Sibelius' Fifth Symphony and introduces local audiences to the living Swedish composer Andrea Tarrodi.

The principal guest conductor brings a rough edge to the orchestra's sound in Brahms' First Symphony, with Gil Shaham projecting lyrical elegance in the composer's Violin Concerto.
