Thomas Ades, Kirill Gerstein on 2018 Tanglewood schedule

Article updated March 2, 2018 by Dave Read

2018 BSO artistic partner Thomas Ades

Now in his second season as BSO Artistic Partner, the gifted British composer-conductor-pianist Thomas Adès leads the BSO in a suite from his opera Powder Her Face on a program with Sibelius’s Violin Concerto featuring Christian Tetzlaff (7/22); directs Tanglewood’s 2018 Festival of Contemporary Music (7/26–30); leads the final program of that Festival, featuring 2018 Koussevitzky Artist Kirill
Gerstein with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra in Adès’s own In Seven Days for piano and orchestra (7/30); and joins forces
again with Kirill Gerstein for an evening of two-piano music in Ozawa Hall (8/1).

2018 Koussevitsky partner Kirill Gerstein

The versatile Russian-American pianist Kirill Gerstein is this summer’s Koussevitzky Artist, named for the Tanglewood Festival’s visionary founder Serge Koussevitzky, and created to honor artists whose presence at the BSO’s summer home has made a lasting impact on Tanglewood’s musical and educational programs. Besides his two collaborations with BSO Artistic Partner Thomas Adès— closing the 2018 Festival of Contemporary as soloist in Adès’s In Seven Days with Adès conducting the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra (7/30), and joining Adès for an evening of two-piano music in Ozawa Hall (8/1)—2018 Koussevitzky Artist Kirill Gerstein is also soloist in this year’s gala Tanglewood on Parade concert, performing Gershwin’s ever-popular Rhapsody in Blue (8/7)
