Orli Shaham

Gil and I are thrilled to release this video of Reena Esmail’s brand-new piece - “surfacing” - which she wrote for us as an encore for her brilliant Double Concerto, and which we premiered in Feb 2026 at the Kennedy Center with the National Symphony Orchestra, and which we are playing THIS WEEK at our “home away from home,” the Aspen Music Festival, conducted by David Robertson!
