Payare Returns to Philadelphia Orchestra

Rafael Payare’s first guest conducting appearance in the new year is with the Philadelphia Orchestra, where he conducts German violinist Carolin Widmann in Kaija Saariaho’s Graal théâtre along with Ravel’s Suite No. 2 from Daphnis et Chloé and Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique” Symphony (Jan 23–26). When the conductor made his debut in Philadelphia in 2021, the Wall Street Journal declared him to be “a fireball of energy onstage,” proclaiming: “He is a musician to watch.”
