RUTH REINHARDT / RHODE ISLAND PHILHARMONIC BEGIN PARTNERSHIP

Audiences can be there from the beginning of the “Reinhardt Era” as Ruth Reinhardt leads the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra in her first concert as  Music Director Designate this weekend. She first conducted the orchestra in 2023, and will assume the role in the fall of 2025.

The start of their partnership can be heard this Saturday (November 9) at 7:30pm at The Vets in Providence. The program features Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony, Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto with Blake Pouliot, and Hindemith’s rousing Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes of Weber.
Reinhardt has swiftly built a reputation for her imaginative programming, elegant performances, and collaborative approach. She has guest-conducted many of the top orchestras in Europe and the United States. It was instantly clear that she had much to say. Her leadership was crisp and musical from the first notes. She is a rising star to watch,” raved the Cincinnati Business Courier.

“I am tremendously honored to join the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra & Music School as Music Director,” said Reinhardt upon her announcement. “From our very first encounters, I have been impressed and inspired by the musicians in the orchestra and their ability to bring tremendous energy and musical precision to whatever they play. I look forward to working with young musicians through the Music School.”

THIS SATURDAY (November 9) at 7:30pm, the Rhode Island Philharmonic and Music Director Designate Ruth Reinhardt. The performance is at The Vets (1 Ave of the Arts). This Friday (November 8) at 5:30pm at The Vets is an Open Rehearsal of the program, and all seats are $20. Tickets start at just $25.
