Your 26/27 Philharmonics season opens with a bold celebration of
creativity and timeless orchestral power. Music Director Andreas Delfs
leads the RPO in ASCENT, a Voices of Today commission and world
premiere by Michael Torke, followed by Karol Szymanowski’s Violin
Concerto No. 2, performed by the fearless and virtuosic Leila
Josefowicz. The program culminates in Dvořák’s beloved “New
World” Symphony—one of classical music’s most stirring and
recognizable works. From cutting-edge new music to a masterpiece
inspired by the promise of America, this opening weekend sets an
ambitious, exhilarating tone for the season ahead.
