Prokofiev saw his Fifth Symphony as "glorifying the grandeur of the human spirit." Thomas Søndergård, in his NY Phil debut, conducts the concerts, which open with Lili Boulanger's cheerful ode to a spring morning. Olga Neuwirth's Project 19 commission sets to music texts by Ariosto, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Friedrich Nietzsche, graffiti artists, and others, including Neuwirth herself.

Runs Apr. 18-20.

About Andrew Watts, countertenor


Few countertenors have pushed the boundaries of repertoire and sound more than Andrew Watts. A dramatic voice unlike any other, and extraordinary stagecraft and presence, make him a unique performer, not only of parts traditionally associated with the voice type, but also as a pioneer of 20th- and 21st-century repertoire. He is particularly associated with roles like Edgar in Aribert Reimann's Lear, which he has performed at Hamburg Staatsoper, Opéra national de Paris, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Munich's Bavarian Staatsoper, and Teatro Real Madrid.
