Jefferson Night at Philadelphia Orchestra: Season Kick-Off, Yannick & Emmanuel Ax

Mix and mingle with fellow Jefferson students, faculty and staff during an evening at The Philadelphia Orchestra!

Guest pianist Emanuel Ax performs Mozart’s final piano concerto, and Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Dvorák's Othello Overture and Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony. During a private pre-concert reception in the Orchestra’s Green Room, join principal tuba Carol Jantsch for a conversation about understanding anatomy as a brass instrumentalist.

Praised by the Philadelphia Inquirer as having “a sound as clear and sure as it [is] luxurious,” Carol Jantsch has been principal tuba of The Philadelphia Orchestra since 2006. She won the position during her senior year at the University of Michigan, becoming the first female tuba player in a major symphony orchestra. In addition to her duties in The Philadelphia Orchestra, Ms. Jantsch is a renowned tuba soloist and an in demand teacher worldwide.

Students tickets include pre-concert reception and performance.
