This Spring: Larcher World Premiere with New York Phil and Bavarian Radio Symphony


This spring, Alisa Weilerstein gives the world and European premieres of Austrian composer Thomas Larcher’s new concerto – a co-commission of the New York Philharmonic and Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra – with the New York Philharmonic under Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider and the Bavarian Radio Symphony under Alan Gilbert, respectively.

This performance marks the third new concerto for Alisa this season, following Gabriela Ortiz’s Dzonot and Richard Blackford’s The Recovery of Paradise. She and Larcher have already worked together extensively – he is a contributor to “FRAGMENTS,” and she frequently performs his earlier concerto, Ouroboros, which she recorded for ECM and the Munich Chamber Orchestra.

While in Munich, she will also join members of the orchestra for an evening of chamber music titled: “Watch This Space: Alisa Weilerstein & Friends.”
