Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

Beethoven, Concierto para piano n.º 5 “Emperador”
Sinfonía Dvořák No, 9

Nathalie Stutzmann broke the gender barrier at the very pinnacle of classical music when she became only the second woman in history to lead a major American orchestra. In a program featuring Beethoven and Dvořák, Stutzmann—the orchestra’s music director, leads Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, Emperor, known for being one of Beethoven’s most demanding works, featuring pianist Haochen Zhang. The Chinese prodigy was one of the youngest to ever win the gold medal at the 2009 Van Cliburn competition at the age of 19. The concert also features Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 in E minor, From the New World.
