Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) welcomes back star pianist Inon Barnatan to Princeton, N.J., at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, and 4 p.m. Sunday, February 5, for performances of Johannes Brahms’ “Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, Op. 83.”
Also on the program are Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92” and contemporary composer Carlos Simon’s “Fate Now Conquers.”
Edward T. Cone Music Director Rossen Milanov conducts both concerts at Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall, on the campus of Princeton University.
Barnatan last performed live with the PSO in October 2018. He also performed as a soloist on the PSO’s 2020-21 virtual series: “Your Orchestra/Your Home.”
Barnatan performs with many of the world’s foremost orchestras and conductors. He is now music director of La Jolla Music Society Summerfest in California, one of the leading music festivals in the country.
Barnatan’s 2022-23 season highlights include concerto performances in the U.S. with the Philadelphia Orchestra, among others. A recent addition to his discography is a two-volume set of Beethoven’s complete piano concertos, recorded with Alan Gilbert and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields on Pentatone.
Born in Tel Aviv in 1979, Barnatan started playing the piano at age 3, and made his orchestral debut at 11.
