This evening, the American premiere of Georgian composer Vazha Azarashvili's Cello Concerto will take place—a work imbued with warmth, drama, and melody. The soloist will be the talented cellist Sandro Sidamonidze, whose playing combines high-level technique with emotion.

The audience will also enjoy Mozart's celebrated Clarinet Concerto, one of the composer's most lyrical and sublime works, performed by Sam Boutris. After the intermission, they will hear Symphony No. 40 in G minor, perhaps Mozart's most dramatic and heartfelt work, as well as Edward Elgar's vibrant Introduction and Allegro for Strings, an ode to elegance and inner strength.

Conductor Hansol Kim, whose energy and subtle sense of ensemble make every Orchestra for People concert a true revelation.

Orchestra for People is more than just a group, it's a community of young musicians from New York City united by a single goal: to be heard. Their mission is to demonstrate that classical music is a vibrant, accessible, and emotional art. Here, every sound is a dialogue between performer and listener, and every concert is an opportunity to experience the birth of genuine connection through music.

This evening promises to be one of the most inspiring musical events of the autumn.
