Perspectives
Carnegie Hall’s Perspectives concerts invite select musicians to explore their own musical vision in a personal concert series through collaboration with other musicians and ensembles.
Perspectives artists have included conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, soprano Dawn Upshaw, conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim, composer and conductor Pierre Boulez, conductor and pianist James Levine, violinist Gidon Kremer, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and pianists Martha Argerich, Emanuel Ax, Maurizio Pollini, Peter Serkin, and Mitsuko Uchida. Carnegie Hall has also expanded its Perspectives to include non-classical artists, most recently the legendary Brazilian tropicália pioneer Caetano Veloso and Senegalese mbalax master Youssou N’Dour.
