Mozart – Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor with the Columbia Orchestra

A concerto usually features the virtuosity of a single performer, and we are thrilled to welcome back Inna Faliks for Mozart’s dramatic concerto! Bartok’s 20th-century masterpiece is a concerto not only for a single soloist but for the entire orchestra. It was the first of its kind since the virtuosity of the whole orchestra – including each section – is on display.

Duke Ellington’s last major work is a jazzy ballet inspired by three black kings: Balthazaar, King of the Magi, King Solomon, and Ellington’s friend, Dr. Martin Luther King.
