Emanuel Ax
Emanuel Ax, one of the most beloved and celebrated pianists of our time, embarks on a breathtaking series of performances across North America's most prestigious concert halls. From the storied grandeur of Carnegie Hall's Isaac Stern Auditorium in New York to the sun-drenched open-air stage of the Gerald Ford Amphitheatre and the intimate elegance of the Kravis Center's Dreyfoos Concert Hall, Ax brings his signature warmth, intellectual depth, and extraordinary sensitivity to every phrase. Whether delivering a solo recital or commanding the stage alongside a full symphony orchestra, each performance is a masterclass in musical storytelling at its finest.
Highlighting a remarkable range of repertoire, the series features Ax's deeply personal interpretations of Mozart and Beethoven — composers with whom he shares an almost telepathic affinity. The Starlight Series concert at Klein Music Tent on July 26, 2026 promises a magical outdoor evening of Mozart under the open sky, while his appearances with the Oregon Symphony in January 2027 at Portland's Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall offer Beethoven rendered with rare emotional honesty and technical brilliance. His performance alongside the New York Philharmonic at the Gerald Ford Amphitheatre rounds out a season of unforgettable collaborative artistry.
For classical music devotees and newcomers alike, experiencing Emanuel Ax live is a gift that resonates long after the final note fades. His ability to make even the most complex works feel personal, immediate, and alive has earned him a devoted global following and universal critical acclaim. These performances represent a once-in-a-season opportunity to witness a true piano legend in the act of creation — in some of the most beautiful and acoustically magnificent venues on the continent.
