27 March 2027 New York (New York, USA)
Rostropovich Centenary Gala
Orchestra of St. Luke's conducted by Semyon Bychkov - Carnegie Hall, Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage
Program Info: Orchestra of St. Luke's Semyon Bychkov, Conductor Evgeny Kissin, Piano Maxim Vengerov, Violin Narrator to be announced
Carnegie Hall presents a star-studded celebration of legendary cellist, conductor, pianist, and humanitarian Mstislav Rostropovich on what would have been his 100th birthday. This lovingly crafted program features masterworks by Britten, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich, each of whom were inspired to write several masterpieces for Rostropovich and were among his closest friends and admirers. Semyon Bychkov, one of today’s leading interpreters of this repertoire, conducts Orchestra of St. Luke’s with pianist Evgeny Kissin—whose storied collaborations with Rostropovich were major early-career highlights—and Rostropovich protégé Maxim Vengerov, who once told TIME magazine that “[Rostropovich is] like my grandfather. He’s my hero. I learned more from him than from any other artist.”
