NY Phil: Alice Sara Ott Performs Ravel

• Alice Sara Ott, piano
• Karina Canellakis, conductor

Anton Webern — Six Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 6
Richard Strauss — Tod und Verklärung (“Death and Transfiguration”), Op. 24
Maurice Ravel — Piano Concerto in G major
Alexander Scriabin — Le Poème de l'extase ("The Poem of Ecstasy"), Op. 54

Alice Sara Ott, in her NY Phil debut, performs Ravel's lush, jazz-influenced G major Piano Concerto. The program—led by Karina Canellakis, also in her NY Phil debut—begins with Webern's remarkably spare, yet haunting Six Pieces. The concert's two tone poems look past earthly life: Richard Strauss's meditation on the death of an artist, and Scriabin's mystical and rhapsodic Poem of Ecstasy.

Runs Apr. 4-6.
