“There could be no more impressive demonstration of modern orchestral virtuosity at its committed best than the pairing of Haitink and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra” (Chicago Tribune). Former principal conductor Bernard Haitink, renowned for his transformative interpretations of symphonic masterworks with the CSO, returns to lead Bruckner’s rich, kaleidoscopic Sixth Symphony. These performances are the conductor’s only U.S. concert engagement this season. Paul Lewis, “a defining interpreter of Beethoven” (Chicago Tribune), joins forces with the orchestra and Haitink to perform the composer’s triumphant Second Piano Concerto.
