Yannick Nézet-Séguin

Alexandre Kantorow, Piano

An opening program with international flair – with music from France, Finland, and Canada. Composer Barbara Assiginaak draws from the traditions of the Canadian Anishinabe in her works. In his Second Symphony, Sibelius pays tribute to his Finnish homeland. And the Frenchmen Ravel and Saint-Saëns travel in their imagination. With La Valse, Ravel composed a portrait of the city of Vienna, while Saint-Saëns paid homage to both the German Baroque and Italian folk dance in his Second Piano Concerto.
