Your 26/27 Philharmonics season opens with a bold celebration of American creativity and timeless orchestral power. Music Director Andreas Delfs leads the RPO in a world premiere by Michael Torke (a Voices of Today commission), followed by John Adams’ electrifying Violin Concerto, performed by the fearless and virtuosic Leila Josefowicz. The program culminates in Dvořák’s beloved “New World” Symphony—one of classical music’s most stirring and recognizable works. From cutting-edge new music to a masterpiece inspired by the promise of America, this opening weekend sets an ambitious, exhilarating tone for the season ahead.
