The Munich Philharmonic Orchestra

Lahav Shani by Marco Borggreve
The storied Munich Philharmonic performs back-to-back concerts under its newly appointed Chief Conductor Lahav Shani. Tonight only, Shani leads from the piano in Shostakovich’s rarely programmed Piano Concerto No. 2, written as a birthday present to the composer’s son. The program also includes Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 1, “Classical”; and Schubert’s colossal, aptly named “Great” Symphony.
