Mozart & Brahms

Walt Disney Concert Hall

Celebrated Swiss conductor Philippe Jordan brings his structural insight and expressive restraint to two contrasting Thirds. Schubert’s Symphony No. 3 brims with youthful confidence and rhythmic vitality. Written while the composer was still in his teens, the symphony is a short cheerful journey with rustic dances, sparkling melodies, and hints of Haydn and Rossini. 

Brahms’ Third offers a more introspective journey of a seasoned composer at age 50. The shortest of his symphonies and considered the hardest to conduct, Brahms’ Symphony No. 3 churns between euphoria and introspection, storm clouds and stunning beauty—all before each movement ends not with triumphant conclusion but an unresolving whisper. 

Pianist Jan Lisiecki makes his LA Phil debut with the surprising dark intensity of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20. Lisiecki made his orchestral debut at nine and recorded the concerto by the time he was 15. The Canadian pianist offers his “immaculate technique and poetic insight” (The New York Times) to Mozart’s concerto that balances operatic turbulence with moments of luminous calm.
