The Philadelphia Orchestra will perform the U.S. premiere of Vivaldi’s Flute Concerto in D minor (“Il gran Mogol”) on March 4, 5 and 8 at the Kimmel Center’s Verizon Hall.
The previously unknown score of this Vivaldi work was discovered in the National Archives of Scotland last year. The program also includes the world premiere of a flute concerto, plus two orchestra classics: Ravel’s sun-splashed Rapsodie Espagnole and Strauss’s quasi-autobiographical orchestral showpiece Ein Heldenleben.
Tickets are available online.
