STRAVINSKY: The Firebird (complete)

Jeremy Denk is one of America’s foremost pianists, proclaimed by The New York Timesas “a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs.” He joins music director Rafael Payare and the San Diego Symphony at The Rady Shell for closing night of our 2023-24 season, performing Beethoven‘s sublime Piano Concerto No. 4 in a concert that also features Stravinsky’s complete ballet score to The Firebird.

The Firebird will feature projections on The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park with characters from the story coming to life.
