Acclaimed pianist Awadagin Pratt performs a new piano concerto by Jessie Montgomery, whose music has been described as “turbulent, wildly colorful, and exploding with life” by The Washington Post. German conductor Christian Reif guides the orchestra in one of Mozart’s final symphonies and two phenomenal operatic works, pairing the unchecked ferocity of Henze’s “Mänadentanz” with the frivolity of Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier Suite.
