CARNEGIE HALL PRESENTS

Sphinx Virtuosi

Music Without Borders

6 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage

Sphinx Virtuosi

The Sphinx Virtuosi make a timely statement in an eclectic program where music from diverse traditions is shared and cultural dialogues are opened. Kareem Roustom’s Dabke bridges Arabic and Western music, while the final movement of Cassadó’s Suite for Cello Solo fuses folk idioms with art music. The human spirit’s triumph in the face of adversity is celebrated in Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony, the protest anthem “Glory” from the film Selma (winner of the 2015 Academy Award for Best Original Song), and the South African devotional song "Ndikhokhele Bawo." Terence Blanchard and Derrick Spiva Jr. both showcase works for their NY premieres, envisioning a future based on diversity and mutual respect.

CARNEGIE HALL PRESENTS

Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique

3 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage

Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique

Please note that the start time for this concert is now 3 PM.

Here’s a rare opportunity to hear the music as Berlioz would have when the piquant winds, warm brass, and crisp strings of a celebrated period-instrument orchestra make his vibrant colors and gorgeous melodies soar even higher. Moving tales inspired by Romantic poetry and classical antiquity are set to music by a quintessentially French Romantic. Berlioz cast the viola as the protagonist in Harold in Italy, a moody and melodic work recalling Byron’s wandering hero, while two legendary queens—Dido and Cleopatra—come to life in impassioned vocal music.

Performers

Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique
Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Artistic Director and Conductor
Lucile Richardot, Mezzo-Soprano
Antoine Tamestit, Viola

Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique

8 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage

Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique

Obsession, madness, murder, and redemption are portrayed in the richly Romantic music—performed on period instruments—of Berlioz. His Symphonie fantastique is a phantasmagoric tale that depicts an opium overdose, nightmares of murder, a guillotine execution, and a terrifying Witches’ Sabbath. Berlioz called his rarely heard Lélio a “conclusion and complement” to the Symphonie fantastique. Lélio uses spoken narration, vocal soloists, chorus, and orchestra—including two pianists performing on one instrument—to tell of the Symphonie hero’s awaking from the nightmare, his musings on art and criticism, and his ultimate triumph as a composer.

Performers

Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique
Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Artistic Director and Conductor
Simon Callow, Narrator
Michael Spyres, Tenor
Ashley Riches, Bass-Baritone

CARNEGIE HALL PRESENTS

Orchestra of St. Luke’s

8 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage

Orchestra of St. Luke’s

Haydn’s "Nelson Mass" might have been inspired by the visit of the British naval hero to the Esterházy estate where he worked. There’s certainly a martial flair to the work—trumpets and drums work overtime—particularly in its forceful Kyrie and Benedictus. There’s also lore surrounding Mozart’s Requiem, mostly courtesy of Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus, but the music reigns supreme. The choral music is grand, the passages for solo voices are expressive, and the orchestral writing anticipates the Romantics with its color and gripping dramatic power.

Performers

Orchestra of St. Luke's
Bernard Labadie, Principal Conductor
Lauren Snouffer, Soprano
Susan Graham, Mezzo-Soprano
Lothar Odinius, Tenor
Philippe Sly, Bass-Baritone
La Chapelle de Québec
Bernard Labadie, Music Director

Mariinsky Orchestra

You won’t have to wait for Christmas to be enchanted by Tchaikovsky’s whimsical and wonderful ballet The Nutcracker. The irresistible music is spectacularly orchestrated and imbued with some of the most beloved—and widely recognized—melodies ever written. From the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy," with its beguiling celesta solo, to the exuberant energy of the national dances, and culminating in the beautiful final tableau, it is a classic for all ages.

St. Lawrence String Quartet
Inon Barnatan, Piano

7:30 PM Zankel Hall

St. Lawrence String Quartet
Inon Barnatan, Piano

Haydn’s quartet is an edgy exploration of asymmetrical phrases, dissonant flashes, and abrupt dynamic shifts, while Beethoven’s final quartet has abundant good humor—particularly a slapstick episode in the Scherzo where the first violin takes flight as other players repeat a churning, comic figure 48 times. Shostakovich’s quintet is also open-hearted with powerful expression and technical brilliance going hand-in-hand. Its piano part is stunning, particularly the giddy whirlwind Scherzo that will showcase the mastery of Inon Barnatan, “one of the most admired pianists of his generation” (The New York Times).

Performers

St. Lawrence String Quartet
·· Geoff Nuttall, Violin
·· Owen Dalby, Violin
·· Lesley Robertson, Viola
·· Christopher Costanza, Cello
Inon Barnatan, Piano

Program

HAYDN String Quartet in G Minor, Op. 20, No. 3
