Mark Steinberg, violin, and Jonathan Biss, piano
Two internationally acclaimed musicians with deep ties to Philadelphia present a four-concert journey over two seasons, encompassing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s complete works for violin and keyboard. PCMS is honored to bring together Mark Steinberg—leader of the revered Brentano Quartet, which makes annual appearances on our series—and pianist Jonathan Biss, who has consistently left PCMS audiences spellbound with his probing, incisive, deeply considered performances.

The Seasons
You could say Vivaldi had a kind of synesthesia when writing The Four Seasons . What does being cold feel and sound like? MacArthur Award-winning playwright and librettist Sarah Ruhl joins Anthony Roth Costanzo to co-conceive a tapestry of Vivaldi’s music, telling an original story about a world in which the seasons are completely out of order. Tony Award-winning set designer Mimi Lien collaborates with M.I.T. materials technologist Jack Forman to fuse art and science, bringing atmospheric events to the stage. Celebrated choreographer Pam Tanowitz creates a maelstrom of dance, director Zack Winokur helms the production, and Corrado Rovaris conducts the rapturous piece, which stars Costanzo. All tickets are Pick Your Price , starting at $11. Any amount above $11 helps support other operagoers and the work Opera Philadelphia presents on stage. - 2025-12-20📍 Rittenhouse
