The Philadelphia Orchestra @ Carnegie - Hayato Sumino
Marin Alsop by Nancy Horowitz, Hayato Sumino by Clemens Ascher
Rising superstar pianist Hayato Sumino is soloist in Gershwin’s blues-infused Piano Concerto, marking his orchestral debut at Carnegie Hall. Known for his quick-witted virtuosity across jazz and classical idioms, Sumino finds an ideal match in the music of Gershwin. In an anticipated centerpiece of Marin Alsop’s 2025–2026 Perspectives series and the United in Sound: America at 250 festival, this program also features a New York premiere by iconic American composer John Adams, co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall. Selections from Prokofiev’s timelessly popular Romeo and Juliet round out the performance.
