NWS Artistic Director Laureate Michael Tilson Thomas returns to kick off a season-long series of performances alongside renowned pianists and dear friends. Known for his fresh interpretations of Ludwig van Beethoven’s piano works, Leif Ove Andsnes shines in the composer’s final, majestic concerto, “The Emperor.” With roaring percussion and brass, Olly Wilson pays homage to the Nigerian god of thunder. For a whirlwind finale, Brahms’ Piano Quartet was given a symphonic makeover in the hands of Arnold Schoenberg, who dubbed it “Brahms’ Fifth Symphony.”
