  • Christoph Eschenbach
    Oct 30 2024
    Pianist and Conductor Christoph Eschenbach returns to Pittsburgh after many years as Music Director of the Philadelphia, Houston and National Symphony orchestras. He talks about his program of Schumann’s Second Symphony, and the Brahms Violin Concerto with Ray Chen. He remembers his first Pittsburgh concert in 1972 with William Steinberg and hundreds of other concerts he played and conducted at Heinz Hall. He points to the recent Ukraine benefit concert he gave at Carnegie Hall in New York as a highlight added recently with Anne Sophie Mutter. Jim Cunningham also asks him about his years in Washington DC, Philadelphia and Houston and if he could share any wisdom having had such a vast range of musical experiences dating back to his extremely challenging youth during the years of WWII.
