The Los Angeles Philharmonic returns with a program of dramatic power and classical brilliance. Brahms’s Variations on a Theme of Haydn opens with elegance and invention, followed by Mozart’s stormy and deeply expressive Piano Concerto No. 20, performed by Jan Lisiecki with his signature clarity and insight. The evening culminates in Brahms’s First Symphony—a work of monumental ambition and hard-won triumph—bringing the concert to a thrilling and deeply satisfying close.
