About the event
Event Overview From May 21 to May 23, 2026, Maestro Marek Janowski returns to the podium of the New York Philharmonic for a stirring program crowned by Mendelssohn’s evocative Scottish Symphony. Drawing inspiration from the haunting beauty of Holyrood Abbey’s ruins in Edinburgh, this symphony captures a landscape of melancholy, majesty, and rugged grace — perfectly suited to Janowski’s legendary interpretive depth.
Known for his authoritative interpretations of Brahms, Bruckner, and Wagner, Janowski brings a profound understanding of German Romanticism to every phrase and passage. Following a critically acclaimed Philharmonic debut, this concert marks his continued legacy with the Orchestra — and promises a transporting experience for those who treasure the grandeur of symphonic storytelling.
