Spring Preview 2023


Weilerstein looks forward to concerto performances of Strauss’s Don Quixote with the Montreal Symphony led by Rafael Payare (April 26 & 27); Barber’s Cello Concerto with the Cleveland Orchestra under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst(May 4 & 6); Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 2 with the Dresden Philharmonic and Thomas Dausgaard (June 10 & 11); and Ligeti’s Cello Concerto with the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony led by Jakub Hrůša (June 14–16). Some notable chamber performances are also on the cellist’s calendar this spring. She collaborates with Inon Barnatan in San Francisco – on the heels of the release of their Beethoven sonata album on Pentatone last year – to perform cello sonatas by Beethoven, Britten, de Falla, and Rachmaninoff (May 14); and performs for the first time in New York City as a trio with pianist Daniil Trifonov and violinist Stefan Jackiw at New York’s 92nd Street Y, in a program of Lutosławski, Rachmaninoff, and Tchaikovsky (May 20).
