Wu Man Pipa
Nowowiejski Overture to Baltic Legend
Du Yun Pipa Concerto (world premiere—Philadelphia Orchestra co-commission)

Acclaimed Polish conductor Anna Sułkowska-Migoń makes her Philadelphia Orchestra debut leading a brilliant blend of music embracing Eastern and Western cultures. It begins with a new work for pipa (Chinese lute) by Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Du Yun, performed by virtuoso Wu Man—“a one-woman force of nature” (Gramophone)—and ends with Tchaikovsky’s achingly beautiful Fifth Symphony, a wild ride of emotions that leaves the listener breathless.
