New Yorkers are so lucky. We can experience artists from around the world without leaving the city limits. In October, Carnegie Hall played host to three of the best orchestras in the United States: Boston Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra and our own hometown band, New York Philharmonic. In November, the venerable hall brings in the Berlin Philharmonic, with Sir Simon Rattle conducting. They'll perform *all* of Beethoven's nine symphonies over the course of five evenings, November 17 - 21. I can't think of a better combination of performers and repertoire. Tickets on sale at Carnegie Hall's website.
Over at Lincoln Center, the New York Philharmonic presents its own dream-team: Rachmaninoff, plus the acclaimed 23-year old Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov, the winner of Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 2011, along with the New York Phil itself. Over three weeks, the orchestra will perform three different all-Rachmaninoff programs, each featuring one of the Russian master's piano concertos. Rachmaninoff: A Philharmonic Festival includes other chamber and vocal performances, and runs November 10-28. Tickets and more information on New York Philharmonic's website.
This month, New York Philharmonic also launches the seventh season of its groundbreaking CONTACT! series, celebrating living composers and innovative contemporary music. This month there are two performances at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, co-presented by the Met, on November 6 and 7. The program features the US premiere of Wave Movements, a sea-going experience of music and film. A pair of alt-classical/indie rocker composers - Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Parry and The National’s Bryce Dessner - wrote the music. Tickets and info on the Met Museum's website.
A week and a half later, on November 16, there's yet another CONTACT! concert, this one at the new National Sawdust in Williamsburg. This program features chamber music by the already-accomplished-but-still-young composers Adam Schoenberg, Kate Soper and more. Tickets available through National Sawdust.
The fabulous all-male vocal ensemble Cantus will be in New York for two free shows - one presented by Carnegie Hall as part of that institution's neighborhood series, at 5 pm on Sunday, November 8 at Our Saviour's Atonement Lutheran Church in Washington Heights. The other is on the Music Mondays series at Advent Lutheran Church (Broadway at 93rd Street) on November 9.
See you at the concert hall!
