“I SOOO ENJOY THE ORCHESTRA NOW! IT IS TRULY A PLEASURE

TO SUPPORT THESE TALENTED YOUNG

“Mahler’s writing is extremely emotive, with a complexity of character unlike any other composer. Strings have Beethoven and Mozart, but brass and winds have Mahler!” –Chris Moran, trumpet

“In the opening solo of this work, the highest register of the bassoon

is used in an exposed and lyrical way that was never heard before 1913. Today, it’s thrilling to attempt to recreate the purity, sublimity, and quivering mystery in this gorgeous musical line.”

–Dávid A. Nagy, bassoon

DEC 3 2017 Schoenberg, Munch & Expressionism

Conducted by Leon Botstein music director of The Orchestra Now and the American Symphony Orchestra

Schoenberg’s Erwartung (“Expectation”) and the artwork of Munch & others

with Kirsten Chambers, soprano performer with the Metropolitan Opera & New York City Opera

At the climax of Schoenberg’s compact operatic monodrama, a woman screams upon inding the dead body of her lover. The close connections between Schoenberg’s score and Munch’s symbolism extend beyond the composer’s expressionist music. The composer was also a painter, heavily inluenced by Munch.

Presented in conjunction with the

exhibition Edvard Munch: Between

the Clock and the Bed, on view at The

Met Breuer Nov 14, 2017–Feb 4, 2018

“Written in 1909 (the same year he ‘emancipated dissonance’), this work is a masterpiece of early atonal writing in reaction to the Romantic Period. –Drew Youmans, violin

Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium5th Ave at 82nd St, NYC

FEB 11 2018 Shostakovich, Michelangelo & The Artistic Conscience

Conducted by Leon Botstein

Shostakovich’s Suite on Verses of Michelangelo and the artwork of Michelangelo & others

with Tyler Duncan, baritone performer with the Metropolitan Opera and the Spoleto Festival

To commemorate the 500th anniversary of Michelangelo’s birth, Shostakovich set eleven poems by the Renaissance master to music. This symphonic song cycle illuminates the timeless struggle of artists across the ages—from Michelangelo to Beethoven and Shostakovich himself—in their quest to remain free.

exhibition Michelangelo: Divine

MAY 20 2018 Debussy & French Painting: Beyond Realism

Conducted by Leon Botstein

Debussy’s Nocturnes and the artwork of the French Impressionists

with members of the Bard Festival Chorale

Debussy’s Nocturnes have been celebrated for their ability to evoke imagery, light, and color. But is he really music‘s answer to Impressionist painting? His works and those of Manet, Degas, and Whistler—who created his own series of atmospheric, tonal scenes that he labeled “nocturnes”—illuminate how the artistic response to nature difers in music and painting.

Presented in conjunction with the

exhibition Public Parks, Private

Gardens: Paris to Provence, on view

at The Met Fifth Avenue March 6–

July 29, 2018

“This takes me on a colorful journey that travels from wispy to energetic to mysterious.” –Adam Romey, bassoon

“This suite weaves a cold and desolate story, detail by detail, like a slow-burning picture.” –Andrew Borkowski, cello

“OUTSTANDING! I COULD FEEL THE ADMIRATION AND RESPECT AMONG THE SOLOISTS, ORCHESTRA, AND LEON BOTSTEIN. BRAVO, BRAVO!!!”–Ellen Young, TŌN patron

“I love Sibelius and his ability to create such unique textures and moods. This piece is dark yet beautiful, and the image it paints of a swan loating through the realm of the dead is so clear you can almost feel it.” –Alana Shannon, cello

“Bizet wrote this when he was only 17! It’s romantic, traditional, and enchanting—nothing like the scandalous Carmen that he wrote 20 years later.” –Caleb Wong, viola

“Even though it’s known as ‘uninished,’ this symphony feels entirely complete to me. It’s personal and romantic, with dramatic passages that interweave with expressive and romantic moments.” –Diego Gabete, violin
