Powerful Elegance
Manfred Honeck’s first Thanksgiving Strauss concert last fall was so popular that he offers another cornucopia of Viennese dances. Pianist Sa Chen ranks with Lang Lang and Yundi Li as one of today’s most important Chinese pianists. She'll play Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto #1.

Neapolitan presepio
Renaissance castles typically were lined with immense and colorful wall hangings often highlighted with threads of silk, silver, or gold. The ideas dramatized in these monumental pictures—religious, historical, or mythical—not only glorified their owners, but also reflected and reinforced the artistic, political, and social values of the age. This exhibition explores these engaging pictures in textile; the patrons, artists, and studios that created a taste for tapestries; and compares tapestry and print imagery.
