The London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) returns to Carnegie Hall for the first time in 20 years, under the brand-new leadership of Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano. Joining them is rising piano superstar Yunchan Lim, whose sold-out Carnegie Hall debut recital in February 2024 has attracted audiences from around the world. Lim is featured in a major piano showpiece—Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2—and the LSO further treats audiences to a rare performance of British composer William Walton’s invigorating and emotionally intense Symphony No. 1.
