Pegasus concludes its 10th Anniversary Season with one of the most ambitious events in its history: all five Saint-Saëns piano concertos in a single evening at Alice Tully Hall. Five extraordinary pianists —Asiya Korepanova, Albert Cano Smit, Nicolas Namoradze, Reed Tetzloff, and Vyacheslav Gryaznov— each bring a distinctive artistic voice to one concerto, joining Pegasus under Karén Hakobyan, Founder, Artistic Director, and Principal Conductor of Pegasus: The Orchestra.

Spanning nearly four decades, the complete cycle takes audiences on a sweeping musical journey from the elegance, clarity, and brilliance of Paris to the radiant color and exoticism of the celebrated “Egyptian” Concerto. Heard together, these five works reveal the astonishing breadth of Saint-Saëns’s imagination: refined and daring, dramatic and dazzlingly virtuosic.

Rarely experienced as a complete cycle in the concert hall, this singular evening celebrates not only the genius of Saint-Saëns, but ten years of Pegasus bringing extraordinary artists together for musical experiences unlike any other.

Five concertos. Five exceptional pianists. One unforgettable night celebrating ten years of Pegasus.
