Orpheus Chamber Orchestra w/ Marc-André Hamelin

The GRAMMY Award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra returns to the Majestic on Feb. 6 with Marc-André Hamelin! Marc-André Hamelin, a pianist praised for his “commanding technique” along with his “warmth and affection” (NY Times), shares the stage with Orpheus. He navigates the emotionally and physically draining Wanderer Fantasy in a newly commissioned orchestration that updates Liszt’s concerto version. Hamelin is himself a formidable pianist-composer, as heard in the rich counterpoint of his Passacaglia, and the unflinchingly honest final sonata from Schubert allows the orchestra to flesh out sounds and emotions buried within these piano masterpieces.

Tickets: $24-$46
