A work that is especially close Music Director Jaime Martín’s heart and has long wanted to share with LACO audiences is Strauss’ monumental and mournful Metamorphosen. Scored in its original form for 23 individual solo strings, it is a work perfectly suited to LACO’s strengths and was last performed here in 1999. The program continues with Ravel’s lighthearted Piano Concerto in G Major with Conrad Tao and culminates with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 in E-flat Major, “Eroica,” a symphony of heroic scale whose funeral march, breathless scherzo, and jubilant finale together trace the full arc of human struggle and renewal.

The West comes into view with a contemporary portrait of Hollywood in Five Pieces in L.A., featuring LACO Principal Flute Benjamin Smolen, and with Schoenberg’s second chamber symphony, linking European tradition to Los Angeles and the future sound of cinematic scores.

Composer-virtuoso and frequent LACO collaborator, Marc-André Hamelin returns to LACO for his own highly virtuosic and introspective Piano Quintet. Joined by LACO principal strings, the program pairs this centerpiece with Shostakovich’s G minor Piano Quintet, a work of exuberance and brilliance. Colburn Conservatory student Yanyan Bao, who has already established herself as a name to watch among the next generation of rising stars, opens the program with Hamelin in Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel’s Three pieces for piano, four hands.

Matthias Pintscher returns to lead LACO in a program that moves from darkness to light. Haydn‘s “Trauer” Symphony opens with an intensity and emotional gravity unusual for its time. Its nickname “Mourning” was earned by a slow movement of such beauty that Haydn reportedly requested it be played at his own funeral.

Internationally acclaimed pianist and composer Fazıl Say brings a recital shaped by intensity, virtuosity, and invention. Beethoven’s “Pathétique” and “Appassionata” sonatas push the piano to its emotional and technical limits, while Say’s own works blend Western classical with Turkish traditions. LACO Principal Flute Benjamin Smolen joins on Bosphorus Romance, adding another layer of color and lyricism to the program. Spanning Beethoven’s dramatic force to Say’s genre-defying musical language, the recital reveals the piano as a vehicle for both profound expression and reinvention.
