LineUp

Jean Sibelius was a Finnish composer of the late Romantic and early modern periods, widely regarded as his country's greatest composer. He is known for his significant contributions to symphonic and orchestral music, including his set of seven symphonies, the violin concerto, and symphonic tone poems such as Finlandia. His music drew heavily on Finnish myths and legends, particularly the epic poem Kalevala, and played an important role in the formation of the Finnish national identity.
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.
Leonard Bernstein, born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, was an iconic American conductor, composer, and educator. He seamlessly blended classical, jazz, and Broadway styles. Celebrated for "West Side Story," "Candide," and his symphonies, he garnered 16 Grammys, 7 Emmys, and 2 Tonys. As New York Philharmonic's first American-born music director, he championed music education and collaborated notably with Jerome Robbins.
