Every January, New York plays host to several national and international gatherings of arts industry professionals. Coinciding with these meetings and conferences is an abundance of festivals, performances and showcases all around town.
PROTOTYPE – a festival of cutting edge opera-theatre and music-theatre works – has only been around a few years, but has gained major recognition as a collection of “can’t-miss” events. This year, eight different productions are performed in as many venues by leading composers, librettists and directors. Highlights include “Fellow Travelers” by Gregory Spears (performed by American Composers Orchestra), “Stranger Love” by Dylan Mattingly (performed by Contemporaneous) and “The Echo Drift” by Mikael Karlsson (performed by International Contemporary Ensemble, featuring singers Blythe Gaissert and John Kelly). January 7-20 in various locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
“A Proust Sonata” brings texts by Marcel Proust to life with live performances of music by Debussy, Schumann, Chopin and others. The production from Da Camera of Houston was created and directed by its artistic director Sarah Rothenberg, who is also the pianist in the show. January 10-12 at the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) in midtown Manhattan.
Two other mainstays of the frenetic January season boast all-night lineups: The Winter JazzFest NYC Marathon is on January 12 and 13, with over 100 groups at a dozen venues in Greenwich Village. One- and two-day passes are on sale on the Winter JazzFest website. GlobalFEST takes over on January 14 with world music acts showcasing at several venues in Times Square.
Carnegie Hall warms up the city with two outstanding orchestras – Royal Concertgebouw on January 17 (performing Wagner and Bruckner) and January 18 (Mahler Symphony No. 1 and Bruch Violin Concerto with the fabulous Janine Jansen), and the Cleveland Orchestra on January 23 (Mahler Symphony No. 9) and January 24 (Haydn’s oratorio “The Seasons”). Jansen returns to the Carnegie stage on January 21 for a chamber program with pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet and the Dover Quartet.
Wrapping up this merry month of music-making, New Zealand violinist Benjamin Baker makes his recital debut at Merkin Hall on January 31, presented by Young Concert Artists. YCA is an uncanny predictor of great talent, and every artist on their roster is worth hearing.
Never mind the chilly temperatures, there are so many irresistible concerts to go to!
