With all best wishes, By early March, with the onset of COVID-19, the world suddenly stood still, and music making at Carnegie Hall, and on stages around the globe, came to a halt. Our immediate concern was for the safety and health of our artists, concertgoers, and staff. As the gravity and duration of the worldwide pandemic became clear, we focused on our mission, asking how the Hall could find alternative ways to continue to serve and inspire our audiences. Clive Gillinson Executive and Artistic Director As we developed and launched new ideas, we were reminded of the Hall’s legacy. Throughout history, whenever America has confronted challenging times, Carnegie Hall has risen to the occasion. From President Theodore Roosevelt appearing on our stage, calling on Americans to stand with the world during World War I; to opening the Hall’s doors for free midday concerts during the Great Depression; to offering music to bring us together as we faced tragedies like the AIDS epidemic and the aftermath of September 11, our institution has always provided inspiration, solace, and connection for people everywhere.

This past year has been no different. While this time has been hugely challenging for people around the world, Carnegie Hall has kept all of us linked through music. As soon as the pandemic closed the Hall, we further transformed our digital work and very quickly launched our new Live with Carnegie Hall series, inviting many of the world’s top artists to keep us connected with audiences worldwide through intimate online performances and conversation, frequently from their own homes. We heard from many people around the globe that these programs felt like a creative lifeline, lifting spirits during a dark and unpredictable time.

Simultaneously, Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute and Ensemble Connect pivoted almost all of the Hall’s in-person educational programming to digital platforms serving students, families, and educators who were now charged

with learning from home. Addressing the demands of this critical time Lee Chris period, WMI placed special focus on its programs for teachers nationwide,

22 2019–2020 ANNUAL REPORT CONCERT SEASON 23 Isaac Stern Centenary The year 2020 marked the centenary of the birth of Isaac Stern, the world-acclaimed violinist, educator, and activist. Carnegie Hall dedicated its 2019–2020 season to Mr. Stern in gratitude for his incredible contributions to the world of music, his tireless work to save Carnegie Hall from demolition in 1960, and for his hopeful vision of what the concert hall could mean to future generations. In March, violinist Leonidas Kavakos, pianist Emanuel Ax, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma performed three chamber music concerts as part of Carnegie Hall’s Beethoven Celebration. The performances also commemorated the 50th anniversary of a series of legendary Beethoven concerts that Mr. Stern performed with pianist Eugene Istomin and cellist Leonard Rose. The March 8 concert was chosen as the season’s Annual Isaac Stern Memorial Concert. Mr. Stern’s life and legacy were also the subject of a special exhibition in Carnegie Hall’s Rose Museum. On July 21, Mr. Stern’s birthday, one of the most widely viewed episodes of Live with Carnegie Hall explored his legacy, with guests Emanuel Ax, Jaime Laredo, Yo-Yo Ma, Midori, Itzhak Perlman, Sharon Robinson, David Stern, Shira Stern, Pinchas Zukerman, and Bryan Wagorn joining Clive Gillinson, Carnegie Hall’s artistic and executive director, to discuss Mr. Stern’s artistry, leadership, and generous mentoring.

The resilience, creativity, and versatility of the more than 200 talented teen musicians of Carnegie Hall’s three national youth ensembles—the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA), NYO2, and NYO Jazz—were showcased this summer when the groups’ annual residency shifted to an all-digital format in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. In July, these remarkable young players from 41 states took part in a wide range of virtual musical experiences, working with distinguished artists and NYO program alumni over the course of two weeks to form a unique online music community.

The NYO musicians had private lessons, master classes, and listening sessions, and were mentored by leading professional orchestral and jazz artists. They also engaged with fellows of the New World Symphony and participated in peer advisory activities with NYO program alumni, where they gained valuable insights into the life of a professional musician. Orchestra Director James Ross and Resident Conductor Joseph Young led NYO-USA and NYO2 musicians in explorations of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances. NYO Jazz members were coached by Artistic Director and Bandleader Sean Jones for the virtual world premiere of John Beasley’s Fête dans la tête—commissioned for NYO Jazz—as well as Thad Jones’s “Cherry Juice.” Throughout their residency, all three ensembles recorded creative performance videos directed by Emmy Award winner Habib Azar, including an excerpt from Valerie Coleman’s Umoja by the musicians of NYO-USA, Grieg’s “Morning Mood” from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 by NYO2, and Wycliffe Gordon’s We’re Still Here by NYO Jazz.

There were also a number of sessions with special guests, including a digital workshop with Grammy Award–winning multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer Jacob Collier; a panel discussion on gender in jazz; a listening party with conductor Mei-Ann Chen; an improvisation Members of NYO2 perform Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 virtually. workshop with interactive performer Nick Demeris; a movement July 17 workshop with Teresa Capucilli of The Juilliard School; a question- and-answer session with trumpeter, composer, and educator Wynton Marsalis; and an exploration of new music with composer Sean Shepherd.

Keneil Soni, a horn player in NYO2, reacted to the news that the NYO programs were shifting to an online platform: “I thought, how can an online experience possibly reflect the life-changing summer I had last year? You guys clearly worked so hard to make this year’s [national youth ensembles] an unforgettable experience.

During the 2019–2020 season, Carnegie Hall’s mission of bringing the transformative power of music to the widest possible audience was supported through a growing range of exciting digital initiatives.

Two large-scale projects were launched in the fall, setting the tone for a season of major digital achievements. The September roll-out of Musical Explorers, WMI’s first all-digital curriculum based on the popular series offered to elementary schools in New York City, provided exciting new classroom tools to teachers across the nation. In October, the Hall introduced its new Digital Collections to the public, providing greater access to Carnegie Hall’s fascinating archives and enabling visitors to search and download selected collections containing more than 80,000 recently digitized historic items for the first time.

Carnegie Hall’s commitment to digital innovation was most aptly demonstrated in the spring as the world confronted the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the Hall’s wide range of artistic and educational programming was creatively pivoted to online platforms, ensuring that the Carnegie Hall community stayed connected through music.

Carnegie Hall continued its role as music curator and storyteller with online galleries, dynamic playlists, and videos. It entered its fifth season as an Apple Music curator. Apple Music subscribers listened to playlists that explored Carnegie Hall programming, including the Perspectives series, Debs Composer’s Chair, Beethoven Celebration, and Isaac Stern Centenary, plus concertos that inspired Beethoven, solo piano music, and great symphonies.

Inspiring greater discovery of Carnegie Hall’s unique place in the world of music, the public was invited for the first time to explore and download more than 80,000 recently digitized historic items from the vast Carnegie Hall Archives. The collection opened a new window for concert programs, flyers, posters, window cards, correspondence, architectural sketches, rare video content, and autographs of legendary composers, artists, and historic figures.

Looking ahead, scholarly work has continued on redeveloping a robust online timeline exploring African American music history, originally created during Carnegie Hall’s Honor! festival in 2009. This initiative enjoyed continued growth thanks to special funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The newly refurbished and expanded musical resource is sure to become an important destination for educators and the general public when it launches in a coming season.
