Thibaudet, one of the foremost interpreters of Debussy today, inhabits this world with unparalleled depth and sensitivity. Drawing from both Book I and Book II of the Pr\u00e9ludes, he brings to life pieces that evoke painting, travel, Dickens, and even Peter Pan. Having performed and recorded the complete set for over 30 years, Thibaudet closes the 2025\/26 Choral Union season with his first solo recital with UMS since 2009, offering an intimate and luminous Debussy experience.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/ums.org\/performance\/jean-yves-thibaudet\/\">Get tickets here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cso.org\/performances\/25-26\/cso-classical\/gaffigan-thibaudet-bernstein\/\">CHICAGO SYMPHONY CENTER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Concert 2: Bernstein, Gershwin, Weill \u2013 America at 250<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> June 11, 2026 7:30 PM; June 12, 2026 1:30 PM; June 13, 2026 7:30 PM<br><strong>Location:<\/strong> Chicago Symphony Center, 220 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60604<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the CSO\u2019s tribute to 250 years of American music, Thibaudet joins conductor Gaffigan and the orchestra for a series of three concerts celebrating American composers. Across these performances, he performs the flamboyant and jazz-infused Piano Solo from Leonard Bernstein\u2019s <em>The Age of Anxiety<\/em>, inspired by W.H. Auden\u2019s poem exploring faith and meaning. The concerts also feature shimmering orchestral arrangements of Gershwin\u2019s <em>Girl Crazy<\/em>, evocative works by Weill, and moving selections of Negro spirituals performed with the Sanctuary Choir of the Apostolic Church of God, creating multiple evenings of rhythm, color, and expressive brilliance.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/cso.org\/performances\/25-26\/cso-classical\/gaffigan-thibaudet-bernstein\/\">Get tickets here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7017925,"menu_order":0,"template":"","app_discipline":[230],"app_city_tax":[223],"app_event_type":[238],"class_list":["post-7017352","app_event","type-app_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","app_discipline-music","app_city_tax-chi","app_event_type-concert"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
