Classic Arts News New York Philharmonic Gives World Premiere of Esa-Pekka Salonen's Piano Concerto Esa-Pekka Salonen may be famous as a conductor, but he considers himself a composer first. His latest piece, a piano concerto written for Yefim Bronfman, gets its world premiere under Salonen's own baton this week from the New York Philharmonic. Performances are tonight at 7:30 and tomorrow and Saturday (February 3) evenings at 8 at Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center. Also on the program are Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin and his orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.

The program begins at 6:45 p.m. at Avery Fisher Hall.
