In this brilliant presentation of French music, Orchestre National de France and Grammy- winning pianist Daniil Trifonov perform the works of Barriaine, Ravel, and Saint-Saëns. Under the baton of Cristian Măcelaru, this masterful program stuns in the musical story it provides, bringing the listener on a picturesque journey from start to finish.

The programming of Elsa Barraine’s Symphony No. 2 with its’ gumptous string lines that compliment the playfulness of the work’s structure sits beautifully in the program with Ravel’s Daphnis & Chloé. A grandiose work, Ravel envisioned Daphnis & Chloé as “a vast musical fresco, in which [he] was less concerned with archaism than with fidelity to the Greece of [his] dreams.”

A Groton Hill exclusive!

Still in his early 20s and only two years out of Juilliard, Canadian pianist Tony Siqi Yun is already making waves as a soloist and recitalist. Praised for his refinement, muscular sound, and intimate expressivity, Yun has “an emergent big personality” (Philadelphia Inquirer) that makes him a pianist you’ll want to experience firsthand.

Yun’s debut program spans lyrical Bach/Busoni, Beethoven's radiant "Waldstein" Sonata, Berio's crystalline Wasserklavier, Liszt's virtuosic Réminiscences de Norma, and Brahms' epic Piano Sonata No. 3. It's a thrilling journey through color, clarity, and intensity—perfectly suited to showcase the express range of this rising star.

A compelling introduction to a must-hear young artist, the program promises to showcase the poetry and power that set Tony Siqi Yun apart on the global stage.
