Lionel heads to the United States this week to conduct the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. This concert marks his BSO debut in three classic Russian orchestral showpieces, and is joined by BSO concertmaster Jonathan Carney in the lyrical, folk-inflected melodies of Khachaturian’s sumptuous Violin Concerto.

Lionel took a moment to reflect on his work with the Mahler Project, a collaboration between the LA Philharmonic Orchestra and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela in a blog post for the LA Phil’s website. Read the post here.
