The New York Philharmonic will perform the New York Concert Premiere of The Marie-Jose Kravis Composer-in-Residence Esa-Pekka Salonen's Helix, conducted by the Finnish composer's compatriot Susanna Mlkki, Musical America's 2017 Conductor of the Year. Ms. Mlkki will also conduct Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, with Baiba Skride as soloist, and Debussy's La Mer, Thursday, January 11, 2018, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, January 12 at 2:00 p.m.; and Saturday, January 13 at 8:00 p.m. The New York Times wrote that Esa-Pekka Salonen's Helix is an "exuberant showpiece ... the tempo markings steadily increase throughout, adding propulsive force to a work that, thick with detail, throws out sounds and ideas as it builds steam.
