Dzonot Concerto with Rafael Payare and the San Diego Symphony, and FRAGMENTS in Germany

To end the season, Alisa reprises Gabriela Ortiz’s Dzonot concerto for the second time this spring with Rafael Payare conducting the San Diego Symphony (May 9–10).

Premiered with Gustavo Dudamel leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic in fall of 2024, was released last summer on the composer’s GRAMMY-winning album Yanga, when Gramophone reported: “Weilerstein and the Los Angelenos play Dzonot with such conviction and technical mastery that I did a double take when I read in the booklet that this recording is taken from the premiere performances.”

Weilerstein brings FRAGMENTS to Germany, performing FRAGMENTS 3 – Emergence at Germany’s stARTfestival in Leverkusen (May 19);
