Miami Symphony Orchestra Opens 2026-27 Season with Steinway Artist Series at Knight Concert Hall
The Miami Symphony Orchestra (MISO) launches its 2026–2027 season on Sunday, November 15, at 6:00 p.m., with a Grand Season Opening at the Adrienne Arsht Center’s Knight Concert Hall — the debut of the orchestra’s Steinway Artist Series under Music Director and CEO Maestro Eduardo Marturet.
Internationally acclaimed pianist Tian Jiang headlines the evening with Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, one of the most beloved concertos in the repertoire. The program is framed by Shostakovich’s Festive Overture and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A Major.
The Steinway Artist Series anchors a four-program season at the Knight Concert Hall celebrating the piano and the legacy of Steinway & Sons, with further installments on February 21 and April 11, 2027, and a Grand Season Finale on May 23, 2027. The season also includes performances at Peacock Park in Coconut Grove and Doral Park, plus a chamber music series at MISO’s headquarters in the Miami Design District.
Founded in 1989 by the late Manuel Ochoa, MISO has been led by Marturet since 2006. The orchestra provides low- or no-cost tickets to students, senior citizens, first responders, active military and veterans across South Florida.
WQXR and Carnegie Hall have announced the lineup for the 2026–27 season of Carnegie Hall Live, the broadcast series that brings performances from the legendary New York venue to audiences nationwide and around the world. Now in its 16th season, the series airs live on WQXR-FM and streams at WQXR.org and CarnegieHall.org, with broadcasts also distributed to public radio stations across the country.
The season opened on October 9 with the Berliner Philharmoniker, conducted by Kirill Petrenko, joined by pianist Víkingur Ólafsson in a program of Brahms and Strauss — part of the orchestra’s four-concert Carnegie Hall residency that launched the Hall’s 2026–27 season.
Among the season’s highlights, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s performs an all-Berlioz program on November 5, 2026, led by Louis Langrée and starring tenor Benjamin Bernheim in a rare New York appearance, pairing Les nuits d’été with the Symphonie fantastique. On January 19, 2027, Franz Welser-Möst conducts The Cleveland Orchestra and the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus in Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, with soloists Golda Schultz, Taylor Raven, Julian Prégardien, and Anthony Robin Schneider.
The series also carries performances by the Vienna Philharmonic and The Philadelphia Orchestra as part of Carnegie Hall’s season-long Mahler symphony cycle led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, alongside chamber music programs spotlighting Beethoven and Brahms.
Carnegie Hall Live is hosted by WNYC and WQXR’s John Schaefer, with guest hosts Elliott Forrest and Paul Cavalconte. The series is produced by WQXR in partnership with Carnegie Hall and American Public Media. For the full broadcast schedule, visit carnegiehall.org.
