A thrilling curtain-raiser in tribute to Schumann's bicentennial is followed by Hindemith's monumental concerto performed by a world-class young cellist—destined for greatness—in his New York solo debut. A stunning new work by Grawermeyer Prize-winner Geroge Tsontakis evokes complex emotions through deceptively simple means, while Sibelius's towering cult masterpiece reprises Rvierside Symphony's 1987 Alice Tully Hall debut.
