The Berliner Philharmoniker is one of the world’s most acclaimed and well-respected orchestras. Founded in 1882, the virtuoso ensemble makes Washington Performing Arts its first stop of their 2024 United States tour under the baton of conductor Kirill Petrenko. Hear Sergei Rachmaninoff’s haunting Isle of the Dead, depicting the transition of souls to the afterlife and inspired by a black-and-white reproduction of Arnold Böcklin’s painting of the same name. Experience Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7 in D Minor, op. 70, flowing from sonorous and expressive climax to ebbing pastoral expressions of horn and oboe.
Washington Performing Arts frequent collaborator and friend Hilary Hahn joins the orchestra as they perform Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s romantically cinematic Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D Major, op. 35. Berlin’s first visit with Washington Performing Arts in 21 years, this is a rare and extraordinary opportunity to be part of an evening of unforgettable artistic excellence.
