One of the greatest works in the classical canon, Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, will conclude Orchestra of St. Luke's 40th Anniversary season at Carnegie Hall. OSL Principal Conductor Pablo Heras-Casado, praised in the Financial Times for his 'keen command of stylistic definition as well as expressive logic' following OSL's October concert, returns for what promises to be an exceptionally thrilling performance of this repertoire staple. 'Pablo will bring new levels of charisma and energy,' anticipates OSL flutist Elizabeth Mann.

Throughout its 40th anniversary season, St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble performs world premieres of works commissioned from three composers, who have been given one important parameter-each new piece must, in some way, be in dialogue with the other works performed on that program. On the next Chamber Music Series program in February, titled Short Stories, the commissioned composer is Gabriela Lena Frank; her piece, Rapsodia Andina No. 2, will be heard along with short musical gems by Britten, Ginastera, and Mozart. Short Stories will be performed three times, at Brooklyn Museum and The Morgan Library & Museum.
