On 22, 23, and 24 January 2026, Gianandrea Noseda conducts the National Symphony Orchestra in a programme titled Songs of Destiny & Fate.

The Washington Chorus joins Gianandrea Noseda and the NSO for three choral masterpieces by Brahms. Schicksalslied (Song of Destiny) and Gesang der Parzen (Song of the Fates) grapple with fate’s inescapable hand—one offering celestial consolation, the other a foreboding omen. Nänie, named for the Roman goddess, is a powerful requiem set to the poem by Friedrich von Schiller. These mesmeric choral works set the stage for a visceral finale: Schumann’s Symphony No. 2.

We warmly invite you to join us for these three performances in Washington!

On Wednesday the Bayerisches Staatsorchester, conducted by Vladimir Jurowski, took the audience on an impressive journey from the musical fin de siècle to the 1920s. ✨

The centerpiece of the evening was Hélène Grimaud, who enchanted the audience with her powerful yet deeply poetic piano playing – a performance full of intensity and magic. 🎹

With Rachmaninoff’s DIE TOTENINSEL, Ravel’s luminous PIANO CONCERTO, and Strauss‘ monumental philosophical ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA, this concert evening was an unforgettable experience.

Here are some more insights.
