Philadelphia Orchestra Music Director Yannick Nezet-Seguin and President and CEO Allison Vulgamore today announce the 2013-14 season of The Philadelphia Orchestra.

The program features New York premieres of new works by David Ludwig and Anna Clyne. Miller Theatre Executive Director Melissa Smey says, 'Jennifer Koh is a longtime favorite here at Miller and I am so thrilled to welcome her back with her teacher and mentor, the incomparable Jaime Laredo. The dialogue between teacher and student is showcased beautifully on this program in music that, while written centuries apart, finds common ground in its emphasis on collaboration.'

The relationship between teacher and student can be life-long and rewarding and has frequently been portrayed on film and on stage. Now this bond will be celebrated in the concert hall with Two x Four, a project created by violinist Jennifer Koh that she performs with her former teacher Jaime Laredo. Named for four works for two violins, the program includes Bach's Concerto for two violins, strings, and continuo in D Minor, BWV 1043, Philip Glass's Echorus, and two new double concertos commissioned for the project: David Ludwig's Seasons Lost and Anna Clyne's Prince of Clouds.

Violinist and new music advocate Jennifer Koh will make her subscription series debut with the New York Philharmonic in January performing Chain 2: Dialogue for Violin and Orchestra by Polish conductor Witold Lutoslawski. She will perform the piece at three concerts: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, January 25 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, January 26 at 8:00 p.m. The concerts will be held in Avery Fisher Hall and will be conducted by the orchestra's former music director, Lorin Maazel. The concerts open with Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet, Overture-Fantasy and conclude with Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5.
