Celebrating Noseda’s 60th Birthday

Gianandrea Noseda has built a strong community of musicians who share his passion, creativity, and musical innovation. This season, he invites NSO audiences to join this elite circle with programs featuring some of his closest friends and collaborators.

My life has been dedicated to music, and without the incredible artists by whom I am surrounded—from the NSO to my many friends and colleagues—I would not be here today.

“As I celebrate my 60th birthday throughout the season, I’m grateful to be surrounded by close friends like Gil Shaham, Seong-Jin Cho, Hilary Hahn, and Fazil Say. I can’t wait for you to experience the celebration, these remarkable artists, and the unbreakable bond we’ve created through music.”
—Gianandrea Noseda
