Carnegie Hall Presents

International Festival of Orchestras III

This is the series for orchestra lovers that seek a little adventure. This series has music by Debussy and Schoenberg that remains as fresh and revelatory today as it did when it was premiered at the fin-de-siècle, and Lorin Maazel’s Ring Without Words, encapsulating the themes of the groundbreaking opera cycle by Wagner.
