Tchaikovsky & Mussorgsky at BroadStage

An Evening of Grand Passion and Color at The Broad Stage

The LLS Orchestra returns to the Eli and Edythe Broad Stage in Santa Monica for a program that brims with drama, virtuosity, and unforgettable beauty. At the heart of the performance are two rising stars in the classical music world: Maestro Simona Grossi and Pianist Jason Stoll.

A versatile artist celebrated as a soloist, chamber musician, and educator, Jason Stoll has performed with ensembles across the United States, including the Santa Monica Symphony, North Charleston Pops, and the Midland-Odessa Symphony.

His appearances span prestigious stages and festivals from the Aspen Music Festival to Pianofest in the Hamptons. Trained at CSU Northridge, Juilliard, and the Glenn Gould School in Toronto, Stoll brings both technical brilliance and heartfelt artistry to the stage. His return to the Broad Stage promises a breathtaking interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, one of the most beloved and thrilling works in the repertoire.

One of the few female conductors in California, Simona Grossi is recognized for her passionate and visionary leadership. With deep roots in both Italy and the U.S., she holds a conservatory diploma in piano performance from Italy and has honed her craft under the mentorship of renowned conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya. Grossi’s interpretations are praised for their clarity, intensity, and ability to forge a powerful connection with musicians and audiences alike.

“For me, every concert is about building a bridge—between cultures, between past and present, and between the musicians on stage and the audience in the hall. Music is where we meet as one.” — Maestro Simona Grossi
