NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester / Leif Ove Andsnes / Alan Gilbert – Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg

About this event

This is a concert production for the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, led by Chief Conductor Alan Gilbert, with Leif Ove Andsnes as piano soloist. The Hamburg program presents Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 2 before an interval, followed by Debussy's La mer and Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé. The program contrasts Brahms's large-scale piano concerto with two French orchestral works associated with color, atmosphere, and movement. Andsnes's appearance opens his residency with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra. There is no staged action, set, costume, director, choreographer, or dramatic production concept. A German pre-concert introduction takes place at 19:00, with foyer admission from 18:30.
