Xian Zhang makes her Symphony Hall debut leading a work she premiered with the New Jersey Symphony in June 2023, Pulitzer Prize-winning Chinese-born composer Chen Yi’s Landscape Impression. American pianist Jonathan Biss is the soloist in Robert Schumann’s lyrical and powerful Piano Concerto. Schumann wrote the piece at the urging of his wife Clara, one of the great pianists of the age. Mozart’s elegant Symphony No. 39 was the first of his final trilogy of symphonies, written at lightning speed in summer 1788.
