In 1842, John Tyler was president, Charles Dickens was all the rage, and the New York Philharmonic gave its very first concert. Now, 175 years later, the venerable institution recreates that first program, including Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and the Overture to Oberon by Weber, with Alan Gilbert conducting. Performances are December 6-9. Later in the month, in a tradition almost as long, the Philharmonic delivers the holiday favorite, Handel’s Messiah, on December 12-16, with the Westminster Symphonic Choir led by Andrew Manze.
The 92nd Street Y always has great programming, and it is especially spectacular this month. Guitarist Isbin with young upstart Colin Davin on December 2, soprano Dawn Upshaw with the Brentano Quartet on December 2, and the pianist extraordinaire Jeremy Denk on December 9. And on Christmas Eve, it’s the Y’s annual tradition of David Broza’s “Not Exactly Christmas Eve” concert.
Other longtime traditions this month include Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s programs of Brandenburg Concertos on December 15, 17 and 19 at Alice Tully Hall, a fanciful and fun production of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, with Isaac Mizrahi narrating at the Guggenheim Museum on December 2-3 and 8-10, and the Metropolitan Opera’s family-oriented presentations of The Magic Flute (December 4, 7 and 9) and Hansel and Gretel (December 18, 22, 26, 28, 30, and January 1 and 6).
Some other performances that will be great destinations this month:
The internationally renowned early music vocal ensemble Tallis Scholars perform music that has endured for 500 years at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin on December 6, presented by Miller Theater; and the well-rehearsed Juilliard Orchestra performs a fabulous program of music by Frenchmen Ravel and Debussy, led by Frenchman Emmanuel Villaume on December 4 at Alice Tully Hall.
For something out of the ordinary, on December 2 and 3, join the pianist Jed Distler and the vocalist and actor Charles Miller for I DREAM A WORLD: The Life and Writings of Langston Hughes, celebrating the iconic poet on the 50th anniversary of his passing, at BronxArtSpace.
