Beatrice Rana makes her much-anticipated NSO debut performing Schumann’s romantic Piano Concerto, a brilliant showpiece for her “ferocious technique” (The New York Times). Experience the vibrant color and flowing lyricism of this superb young pianist who possesses “more than a touch of genius” (Gramophone).

Then, Dvořák’s Seventh draws us into a world of mystery, tension, and wild heroic energy. In the hands of American maestro James Gaffigan, this dark extravaganza of a symphony is an event.
