Orchestre National de France
Kurt Masur, conductor
David Fray, piano soloist
Sunday, April 27, 3pm, Symphony Hall

One of the most widely admired and respected musicians of his generation, Kurt Masur now leads the first orchestra of France. The music they make together is by turns warm and glowing, fiery and intense. In short, Kurt Masur and Orchestre National de France are thriving together. Joining Maestro Masur and the orchestra is the fresh, exciting young pianist, David Fray.

“As he used to do with the Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig, [Kurt Masur] seemed to make the Orchestre National an extension of his arms, chiseling phrases as though sowing seeds…”
—Le Figaro
