As a conductor, trailblazer and educator, Marin Alsop is a formidable force in classical music. She makes her anticipated return to NWS with an evocative program featuring famed jazz pianist Aaron Diehl. Experience the American premiere of a new edition of George Gershwin’s Concerto in F—a perfect fusion of classical, popular and jazz styles. Arabian Nights’ famed storyteller Scheherazade spins fables to survive. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov pays homage to the princess in this intoxicating symphonic epic, featuring a treasure trove of imaginative scenes, like Sinbad on the high seas. Anna Clyne’s Masquerade embodies the celebratory spirit of 18th-century garden concerts.

Saturday’s performance includes a free pre-concert chat with Fellows in the Truist (formerly SunTrust) Pavilion. This chat is exclusive for Dec.11 ticket holders. Doors open at 6:25 PM. There will not be a pre-concert chat on Friday, December 10.
