Pianist Inon Barnatan makes his NSO debut in Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 2, with its finale inspired by Hungarian folk music. Salome’s Dance from Richard Strauss’s opera will close the program.

The NSO performs this program 7 p.m. Thursday, 8 p.m. Saturday, and 3 p.m. Sunday. kennedy-center.org; 202-467-4600.
