Andris Nelsons conducts Simon and Beethoven featuring Yuja Wang, piano by Beethoven, Simon, Carlos, Ellington, D., Noiztik (2024/2024), Zuzendaria Andris Nelsons, Koussevitzky Music Shed, Lenox, United States

Yuja Wang brings her powerhouse artistry to Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto, a piece renowned for its groundbreaking approach to the form and exquisite dialogue between piano and orchestra. Andris Nelsons also leads the BSO in two pieces by the seminal Duke Ellington; the composer described A Tone Poem to Harlem as a musical stroll through the city on a Sunday morning, and Three Black Kings – originally written as a eulogy for Martin Luther King, Jr. — was the last piece Ellington worked on before his death.
