Orchestra of St. Luke’s kicks off its 2023–2024 Carnegie Hall series in very special fashion, with pianists Lang Lang and Gina Alice Redlinger joining in an eclectic program conducted by Jahja Ling. The orchestra shines in the energetic overture to Rossini’s Semiramide and Kodály’s quintessentially Hungarian Dances of Galánta, while the piano takes center stage in works by Saint-Saëns. His virtuosic Second Piano Concerto, performed here by Lang Lang, is arguably his most popular, and Carnival of the Animals is one of the most constantly delightful works in the classical repertoire.
