Consortium for Piano Concerto

pianist Henry Kramer and composer Gala Flagello

2025-26 Season

Description:

Renowned piano soloist Henry Kramer commissions composer Gala Flagello to write a new concerto

for piano and orchestra. This collaboration will explore the time-honored tradition of the concerto

through a kaleidoscopic dialogue, pairing the virtuosic piano soloist with each section of the

ensemble in celebration of vibrant orchestral color and vivid melodic gesture. An abstract homage to

notable piano concerti of the 19th and 20th century, Flagello's new work will combine the fiery and

the fluttering, the powerful and the playful to create a concerto of our time.
