Overview
One of Beethoven’s most reflective and serene creations, the Fourth Piano Concerto is an ideal vehicle for Mitsuko Uchida, who conveys “a sense of intimacy and directness in her playing, as well as a certain quiet grace” (San Francisco Chronicle). Riccardo Muti also conducts Glass’ Symphony No. 11, a colorful, exuberant score that the composer wrote for his own 80th birthday celebration.
Ticket holders are invited to a free preconcert conversation featuring Daniel Schlosberg in Grainger Ballroom 75 minutes before the performance. The conversation will last approximately 30 minutes. No additional tickets required.
