LineUp

The New York Philharmonic is a leading cultural orchestra in New York City with over 180 years of innovation. Each season it reaches up to 50 million listeners through live concerts worldwide, broadcasts, recordings, and education programs.
Born in Lowestoft, England, Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) was a towering 20th-century composer, conductor, and pianist. Renowned for revolutionizing British opera, his emotive style blended classical traditions with diverse influences. Celebrated works include the operas "Peter Grimes" and "War Requiem," alongside "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra."
Sergei Prokofiev, a Russian composer born in 1891, forged a distinctive, often percussive and lyrical style in classical music. He is celebrated for masterpieces like the ballets "Romeo and Juliet" and "Cinderella," the children's tale "Peter and the Wolf," and powerful piano concertos. His unique voice, blending modern harmonies with classical structure, profoundly shaped 20th-century music.
An Estonian-American Grammy Award-winning conductor widely recognized as one of today's most eminent conductors, known for his energetic and collaborative performances with leading global orchestras.
