Javier Perianes is joined by Rafael Payare for both the Canadian and United States premieres of Jimmy López Bellido’s Piano Concerto Ephemerae. The concerto was co-commissioned by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, and The Philadelphia Orchestra. The work is dedicated to Perianes, who also performed the world premiere in 2022.
