Jacobs Music Center
Sir Antonio Pappano, Musical America’s 2024 Conductor of the Year, leads a breathtaking program of lyrical might! Winner of the 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and Artist-in-Residence Yunchan Lim takes the stage to debut his brilliance with the heartfelt and romantic Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2.
Mahler’s First Symphony develops from the faintest of sounds into a lighthearted melody that echoes and crescendos all the way through its exhilarating finale.
This event is also part of our WinterFest Gala. Concert-only tickets for this special event will go on sale September 2024, but WinterFest Gala tickets can be purchased now. Email Gala@theconrad.org for more information.
