Season Overview

The Philadelphia Orchestra celebrates Beethoven’s 250th birthday by performing his symphonies in dialogue with music by composers of today.
The Symphonies: March 12–April 5
Experience all nine of Beethoven’s masterworks in a concentrated four-week period!
The Piano Concertos: January 23–February 8
Don’t miss all five piano concertos in three binge-worthy weeks—including a special one-week return to the Academy of Music—with three of the world’s greatest pianists: Yefim Bronfman, Daniil Trifonov, and Emanuel Ax.
WomenNOW
Women innovators and creators take center stage as Yannick Nézet-Séguin and The Philadelphia Orchestra present composers, conductors, instrumentalists, vocalists, and thinkers in programs that showcase rarely heard works of the past and inspiring music of today. A world premiere by Valerie Coleman during opening weekend sets the stage for a celebration of women’s voices, and Gabriela Lena Frank joins the Orchestra as composer-in-residence.
Music that Transforms
Experience the genius of John Adams and 16 other living composers who feature prominently in a season of distinctive, inspiring musical voices. Strauss’s revolutionary opera Elektra comes to life as Yannick leads a stunning symphonic staging. Be inspired by Bach’s Mass in B minor, one of the greatest choral works ever written. And re-live timeless films as the Orchestra performs live the extraordinary original scores to Fantasia, An American in Paris, and Up.
