Celebrate classical music’s bright future with two ensembles known for their virtuosity, curiosity, and sense of adventure. Across three programs, Ensemble Connect performs chamber works by Bartók, Brahms, Coleridge-Taylor, Copland, Dvořák, Ligeti, Loeffler, and Kodály; a New York premiere by Hannah Ishizaki; and works by leading contemporary composers Reena Esmail, Jennifer Higdon, and Caroline Shaw, holder of Carnegie Hall’s 2026–2027 Debs Composer’s Chair. Shaw’s works are also performed by Decoda, Carnegie Hall’s first affiliate ensemble, alongside works by Berio, Björk, and Britten; a New York premiere by Viet Cuong; and an original work created by the ensemble after Gustav Mahler.
