CARNEGIE HALL PRESENTS

West-Eastern Divan Orchestra

The Annual Isaac Stern Memorial Concert

8 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage

West-Eastern Divan Orchestra

The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra—founded by Daniel Barenboim and the late Palestinian literary scholar Edward Said—promotes coexistence and intercultural dialogue by bringing young Israelis, Palestinians, and Arabs together to make music. For this concert, they tell great musical tales in vibrant orchestral colors and lush melodies. Strauss assigns the cello the role of the beguiled Don in a work that vividly portrays episodes from Cervantes’s famous Don Quixote. Tchaikovsky’s work may not tell a literal story, but fate and doubts figure prominently, and he gives voice to all in a gripping journey from darkness to triumph.

Performers

West-Eastern Divan Orchestra
Daniel Barenboim, Music Director and Conductor
Miriam Manasherov, Viola

Nicholas Payton, Trumpet

Afro-Caribbean Mixtape

9 PM Zankel Hall

Nicholas Payton, Trumpet

Trumpeter Nicholas Payton traces the path of African rhythms from their arrival in the Caribbean through their journey to New Orleans and on to Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, and New York. He explores how the music of New Orleans became, in a sense, the world’s first popular music and how its greatest practitioner—Louis Armstrong—became one of the first pop stars. You’ll hear how swing, bebop, R&B, hip-hop, and more share a DNA that connects people around the world.

CARNEGIE HALL PRESENTS

Budapest Festival Orchestra

8 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage

Budapest Festival Orchestra

Bartók’s The Miraculous Mandarin—conceived as a stage pantomime—tells a lurid tale of seduction and murder with striking effects, including a sinuous clarinet solo that introduces seduction scenes and an eerie wordless chorus as the mandarin’s body emits a greenish-blue light. The composer's Concerto for Orchestra’s vibrant color, harmonic daring, and sheer virtuosity make it one of his most popular works and one of the great orchestral showpieces.

Performers

Budapest Festival Orchestra
Iván Fischer, Music Director and Conductor
Cantemus Choir
Szabó Dénes, Choir Master
