A. Mozart: Double Piano Concerto, K.365R. Schumann: Symphony No. 1, Op. 38 ("Spring")About the Conductor Celebrated for his "imagination, devotion and supreme musicianship" (Los Angeles Times), Jeffrey Kahane is now in the fifth decade of an expansive and eclectic musical career. As a pianist, conductor, and scholar, his career highlights run the gamut from concertos with the New York Philharmonic and San Francisco Symphony to recitals with Yo-Yo Ma and Joshua Bell and European tours at the podium of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, along with countless lectures and artistic collaborations. During his 20 seasons as music director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, he led the orchestra on tours of the United States and Europe. He was instrumental in the creation of several new series. In addition to the dozens of works commissioned or premiered by the orchestras where he has served as music director, Kahane has premiered piano concertos written for him by composers Kevin Puts and Andrew Norman. He has also given many performances of Heirloom, a new concerto written for him by Gabriel Kahane, as a way of tracing the connections between music and three generations of family history. He served as music director of the newly re-formed San Antonio Philharmonic for two seasons and of the Sarasota Music Festival for nine seasons. When not on the road, he teaches a small class of gifted pianists and coaches chamber music at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music and occasionally guest conducts the USC Thornton Symphony.
