Fabien will make his Chicago Symphony Orchestra debut on April 20-23, conducting a program of Liadov, Stravinsky, and Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3. “Peerless today as a Rachmaninov interpreter” (The Guardian) and in possession of “monstrous technique and lustrous tone” (The New Yorker), pianist Daniil Trifonov performs Rachmaninov’s electrifying Third Piano Concerto. Russian folklore animates Stravinsky's magical world of Petrushka and Liadov’s dark and fantastical Kikimora. Tickets are available for purchase here.
Fabien will also make his Toronto Symphony Orchestra debut on April 26-29 conducting a program of Stravinsky, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, and the North American premiere of Camille Pépin's Laniakea. An homage to the elegant style of Mozart, Tchaikovsky’s charming and tuneful Variations on a Rococo Theme offers an exhilarating showcase for the talents of Canadian cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras. Acclaimed French conductor Fabien Gabel shares the evocative music of Camille Pépin and Stravinsky. Ravel’s sensuous and shimmering Daphnis et Chloé opens with the most glorious “musical sunrise” ever written, and ends in a barely contained whirlwind guaranteed to bring down the house.
