BSO Presents Awadagin Pratt Returns
Acclaimed pianist Awadagin Pratt performs a new piano concerto by Jessie Montgomery, whose music has been described as turbulent, wildly colorful, and exploding with life by The Washington Post. German conductor Christian Reif guides the orchestra in one of Mozart’s final symphonies and two phenomenal operatic works, pairing the unchecked ferocity of Henze’s Mänadentanz with the frivolity of Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier Suite.
This concert will aslo take place Thurs., May 12 at 8 p.m. at The Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda, MD. Join us for BSO LATE NIGHT on May 6. Mingle with musicians of the BSO at a post-concert performance and meet-and-greet in the lobby of the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall.
