From there we branch out in multiple directions, from Handel\u2019s ebullient Royal Fireworks Music to Mahler\u2019s devastating Symphony No. 6, from a cello concerto by Andy Akiho (another world premiere) to Rachmaninov\u2019s beloved Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, featuring the distinguished pianist Garrick Ohlsson.  Notable debuts include the brilliant violinist Leonidas Kavakos (performing the Brahms Concerto), and the renowned British pianist Sir Steven Hough, performing Greig.
