World Premiere of Thomas Adès's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra

World Premiere of Thomas Adès's <em>Concerto for Piano and Orchestra</em>

On March 7, Thomas Adès led the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the world premiere of his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra featuring pianist Kirill Gerstein with additional performances on March 8 and 9. Zoë Madonna of the Boston Globe lauded the premiere performance, saying:

"Thomas Adès’s new Concerto for Piano and Orchestra made a statement even before the first notes of its world premiere sounded on Thursday evening at Symphony Hall. A formidable musical triple threat (composer, performer, conductor) who has been the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s artistic partner since 2016, Adès has to his name a broad oeuvre of operas, chamber music, and orchestral pieces, which has led some to wonder: What can’t he do?"


Kirill Gerstein and the Boston Symphony Orchestra give the New York premiere of the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra on March 20 at Carnegie Hall.
