Be part of the glamour and excitement of Dausgaard’s inaugural Opening Night with us! The 2019-2020 Opening Night Concert & Gala will be a thrilling start to the season. Thomas Dausgaard takes the stage in his first concert as Music Director in a program that includes pianist Daniil Trifonov performing Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 4.
