The NY Phil has a special connection to Beethoven’s Fifth: it was played on our first concert in 1842 and has delighted audiences countless times since. Jaap van Zweden conducts this iconic masterwork plus The Hebrides Overture, Felix Mendelssohn’s tone poem inspired by his trip to the Scottish archipelago. Conrad Tao is the soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 17, a marvelous dialogue between piano and orchestra.
