Anne-Sophie Mutter rounds off the musical celebrations for her 60th-birthday year with a performance she created with her friends and musical colleagues with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra on 12 December. From Heinz Hall, she is joined by legendary composer and conductor John Williams as well longtime friend Yefim Bronfman; her protégé, cellist Pablo Ferrández; and sought-after conductor Susanna Mälkki.
The first half of the evening sees Mutter, Ferrández and Bronfman come together for Beethoven's lyrical Triple Concerto – with Mälkki on the podium – while the second half sees Mutter and Williams reunited for an unmissable selection of music by the film music legend. This one-night-only performance was certainly not to be missed.
