Led by their energetic music director, Rafael Payare, the San Diego Symphony performs Shostakovich’s powerful Tenth Symphony. Grammy Award-winning pianist Daniil Trifonov joins the orchestra for Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1. 

Pianist Daniil Trifonov has made a spectacular ascent of the classical music world, as a solo artist, champion of the concerto repertoire, chamber and vocal collaborator, and composer. With Transcendental, the Liszt collection that marked his third title as an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, Trifonov won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Solo Album of 2018. Named Gramophone’s 2016 Artist of the Year and Musical America's 2019 Artist of the Year, he was made a “Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres” by the French government in 2021. As The Times of London notes, he is “without question the most astounding pianist of our age.” 

Few artists have burst onto the classical music scene in recent years with the incandescence of the pianist Daniil Trifonov.
