About the event
Event Overview On April 28, 2026, the New York Philharmonic’s Spring Gala promises an evening of soaring beauty and rare musical treasures at Wu Tsai Theater, David Geffen Hall. Conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, this festive concert welcomes back legendary pianist Evgeny Kissin in his long-anticipated return to the Philharmonic stage — his first in a decade.
The program opens with Rimsky-Korsakov’s seldom-heard Piano Concerto, infusing the evening with folkloric charm and dazzling lyricism. This is followed by Scriabin’s lush and introspective Piano Concerto, a work of mystical elegance that reveals the composer’s romantic soul. The night culminates with a burst of color and rhythm in Stravinsky’s iconic Firebird Suite (1919 version), bringing this celebration of renewal to a thrilling, luminous close.
