David Robertson kicks off the new season with Respighi’s spectacular symphonic poem, Pines of Rome. Embarking on a musical voyage through the majesty of Rome’s hills, Respighi’s masterwork explores catacombs, flittering nightingales, and a glittering sunrise over the ancient city that will leave you breathless. Equally dazzling with his unmatched virtuosity, legendary pianist Emanuel Ax performs Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto.
