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 also occur on Thur., May 5 at8 PM at The Music Center at Strathmore in 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.
