FOR RELEASE: January 22, 2014 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 29, 2015 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] CHARLES DUTOIT and YUJA WANG TO RETURN TO NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC MOZART’s Piano Concerto No. 9, Jeunehomme RESPIGHI’s Roman Festivals, Fountains of Rome, and Pines of Rome February 3–6, 2016 Charles Dutoit will return to the New York Philharmonic to lead Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9, Jeunehomme, with Yuja Wang as soloist, and Respighi’s Roman Festivals, Fountains of Rome, and Pines of Rome, Wednesday, February 3, 2016, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, February 4 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, February 5 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, February 6 at 8:00 p.m. The program marks a rare performance of Respighi’s complete Roman Trilogy; the Philharmonic presented all three works together only once before, in October 1998, led by Simone Young. The Philharmonic gave the World Premiere of Roman Festivals in 1929, led by Arturo Toscanini; the U.S. Premiere of Pines of Rome in 1926, led by Arturo Toscanini; and the U.S. Premiere of Fountains of Rome in 1919, led by Josef Stransky. Charles Dutoit released an acclaimed recording of the Trilogy, featuring the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, in 1983. The Guardian wrote of his 2014 performance of the Trilogy with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra: “The constant shifts in orchestral colour have a mesmerising, almost narcotic quality … Dutoit reminded us of an eclectic mix of influences. … it was hard to imagine them better done.” Charles Dutoit and Yuja Wang are frequent collaborators, and this program marks their first collaboration together with the Philharmonic. The Chicago Tribune said that their 2007 performance “generated enough electricity to light up Symphony Center for days.” Yuja Wang will return in March 2016 for performances of Messiaen’s Turangalîla-symphonie, conducted by The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence Esa-Pekka Salonen, as part of the Philharmonic’s Messiaen Week.

Artists Charles Dutoit has performed with all the major orchestras on most stages of five continents. Artistic director and principal conductor of the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, he recently celebrated his 30-year artistic collaboration with The Philadelphia Orchestra, which bestowed upon him the title of conductor laureate. He collaborates regularly with the New York Philharmonic, as well as with the orchestras of Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, and is also a regular guest on stages in London, Berlin, Paris, Munich, Moscow, Sydney, Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. His more than 200 recordings for Decca, Deutsche Grammophon, EMI, Philips, and Erato have garnered multiple awards and distinctions, including two Grammys. For 25 years Mr. Dutoit was artistic director of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. From 1991 to 2001 he was music director of the Orchestre National de France, and in 1996 he was appointed principal conductor and, soon thereafter, music director of the NHK Symphony Orchestra (Tokyo), for which he now serves as music director emeritus. He was music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra’s Mann Music Center season for ten years, as well as at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center for 21 years. Mr. Dutoit’s interest in the younger generation has always held an important place in his career, and he has successively been music director of the Sapporo Pacific Music Festival and Miyazaki International Music Festival in Japan, as well as the Canton International Summer Music Academy in Guangzhou. In 2009 he became music director of the Verbier Festival Orchestra. When still in his early 20s, Charles Dutoit was invited by Herbert von Karajan to conduct the Vienna Staatsoper. He has since conducted at The Metropolitan Opera, Deutsche Oper in Berlin, Rome Opera, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. He has been named Honorary Citizen of the City of Philadelphia (1991), Grand Officier de l’Ordre national du Québec (1995), and Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the government of France (1996); was invested as Honorary Officer of the Order of Canada (1998); received the Gold Medal of the city of Lausanne, his birthplace (2007); and was given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Classical Music Awards (2014). He holds honorary doctorates from McGill, Montreal, and Laval universities and the Curtis Institute of Music. A globetrotter motivated by his passion for history, archaeology, political science, art, and architecture, Charles Dutoit has traveled in all 196 nations of the world. He made his New York Philharmonic debut in February 1982 leading works by Haydn, Franck, and Stravinsky; he most recently led the Philharmonic in the summer of 2015 at the Concerts in the Parks, Presented by Didi and Oscar Schafer, and in Shanghai as part of the Shanghai Orchestra Academy and Residency Partnership. Since her debut with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 2007 while still a student at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music, pianist Yuja Wang has performed with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the Chicago, San Francisco, National, London, NHK, Melbourne, and Sydney symphony orchestras; The Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras; the (more) Charles Dutoit / Yuja Wang / 3 Los Angeles, New York, Berlin, Munich, Israel, and China philharmonic orchestras; and the Orchestre de Paris, Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw, Orquesta Nacional de España, Orchestra della Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Mariinsky Orchestra, and Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar. She was championed early on by conductors including Gustavo Dudamel, Michael Tilson Thomas, and the late Claudio Abbado, and is a fiercely dedicated chamber musician and recitalist, appearing at concert halls and festivals worldwide. An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist since 2009, she has released three solo and two concerto recordings to date, garnering two Grammy nominations. She has been the subject of television documentaries and graced the pages of magazines ranging from arts and culture to fashion. Born in Beijing in 1987, Yuja Wang began piano lessons at the age of six and completed studies at Beijing’s Central Conservatory of Music and Calgary’s Mount Royal College Conservatory, as well as at Curtis. She is a Rolex ambassador and a Steinway Artist. Ms. Wang made her Philharmonic debut performing Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1, led by Bramwell Tovey, in July 2006 at Bravo! Vail; she most recently appeared with the Philharmonic in the 2014 Chinese New Year Concert and Gala, led by Long Yu, performing works by Tan Dun and Rachmaninoff. Repertoire Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–91) completed his Piano Concerto No. 9, Jeunehomme, in 1777. Some believe that he wrote it for a touring French pianist named Mlle. Jeunehomme. The concerto represents a leap forward in ambition and achievement for the 21-year-old composer. The scoring is modest — only pairs of oboes and French horns join the strings — but the concerto gives the impression of being big: the French horn plays a melody in unison with the piano, and Mozart explores the sonority of the keyboard joined only by the two oboes. The piano frequently plays at unexpected moments, and the matter of who plays when becomes the subject of continuing subtle jokes and surprises. The New York Symphony (which merged with the New York Philharmonic in 1928 to form today’s New York Philharmonic) first performed the concerto in October 1902, conducted by Walter Damrosch with Roul Pugno as soloist. It was last performed by the New York Philharmonic in April 2012, with Garrick Ohlsson and led by Herbert Blomstedt. Between 1916 and 1928 Ottorino Respighi (1879–1936) composed a triptych paying homage to the city of Rome: Fountains of Rome (1916), Pines of Rome (1924), and Roman Festivals (1928). While Fountains essentially captures the composer’s impressions of man-made objects and Pines his ruminations inspired by nature, Roman Festivals evokes four entire scenes: the Circenses, the Jubilee, the October Festival, and the Epiphany. After Festivals — which is packed with motives, evocative orchestration, and thick sonorities — Respighi turned away from symphonic writing, noting that “with the present constitution of the orchestra, it is impossible to achieve more.” The New York Philharmonic gave the World Premiere of Roman Festivals in February 1929, one year after its composition, led by Arturo Toscanini; the Orchestra most recently performed the work in January 2007, led by Riccardo Muti. Fountains of Rome is a virtuosic kaleidoscope of sound meant to express, as Respighi noted, “the sentiment and visions suggested by four of Rome’s fountains at the hour in which the character of each is most in harmony with the surrounding landscape, or in which their beauty appears the most suggestive to the observer.” These are the Fountain of Valle Giulia at dawn, the (more) Charles Dutoit / Yuja Wang / 4 Triton Fountain in the morning, the Trevi Fountain at midday, and the Villa Medici fountain at sunset. The New York Philharmonic gave the U.S.

WAGENAAR’s Cyrano de Bergerac Overture BEETHOVEN’s Symphony No. 7 March 27, 2019 Yuja Wang will replace Maurizio Pollini, who has cancelled in order to fully recover from a brief illness, in the one-night-only performance of Schumann’s Piano Concerto with the New York Philharmonic led by Music Director Jaap van Zweden, Wednesday, March 27, 2019, at 7:30 p.m. The program will also include Johan Wagenaar’s Cyrano de Bergerac Overture and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. The performance will mark Yuja Wang’s 24th with the New York Philharmonic; she most recently appeared with the Orchestra and Jaap van Zweden in February–March 2018, both in New York and on tour to Asia. She will return next season for performances of Shostakovich’s Concerto No. 1 for Piano, Trumpet, and Strings, June 11–13, 2020, also conducted by Jaap van Zweden and featuring Principal Trumpet Christopher Martin. The Boston Globe wrote of her performance of Schumann’s Piano Concerto last month with the Boston Symphony Orchestra: “Not just a vehicle for virtuosic fireworks, the concerto calls for a keen listening ear and attunement to the larger ensemble… Wang demonstrated all that in spades. Like an elite figure skater or gymnast, the athletic effort she expended was palpable, but if the physical feats took any toll, the audience never saw it.” Biographies Beijing-born pianist Yuja Wang is set to achieve new heights in critical superlatives and audience ovations during the 2018–19 season, through recitals, concert series, season residencies, and extensive tours with some of the world’s most venerated ensembles and conductors.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 7, 2018 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5700; [email protected] CHRISTOPH ESCHENBACH TO CONDUCT THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC MOZART’s Piano Concerto No. 22 with TILL FELLNER in His Philharmonic Debut BRUCKNER’s Symphony No. 9 April 19, 21, and 24, 2018 Christoph Eschenbach will conduct the New York Philharmonic in a program of works by Austrian composers: Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22, with Austrian pianist Till Fellner as soloist in his Philharmonic debut, and Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 (Ed. Nowak), Thursday, April 19, 2018, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, April 21 at 8:00 p.m.; and Tuesday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m. German conductor Christoph Eschenbach began his career as a pianist, making his New York Philharmonic debut as piano soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 in 1974. Both Christoph Eschenbach and Till Fellner won the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition, in 1965 and 1993, respectively. Mr. Fellner subsequently recorded Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22 on the Claves label in collaboration with the Clara Haskil Competition. The New York Times wrote of Mr. Eschenbach’s conducting Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 with the New York Philharmonic in 2008: “Mr. Eschenbach, a compelling Bruckner interpreter, brought a sense of structure and proportion to the music without diminishing the qualities of humility and awe that make it so gripping. … the orchestra responded with playing of striking power and commitment.” Artists Christoph Eschenbach is in demand as a distinguished guest conductor with the finest orchestras and opera houses throughout the world, including those in Vienna, Berlin, Paris, London, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Milan, Rome, Munich, Dresden, Leipzig, Madrid, Tokyo, and Shanghai.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

    December 31, 2007, 8:00pm on PBS New York Philharmonic New Year’s Eve Gala with Joshua Bell In September Live From Lincoln Center observed one of its longtime traditions: the Gala opening concert of the new season of the New York Philharmonic. On December 31 we'll re-invent another longtime Live From Lincoln Center tradition: the Gala New Year's Eve concert by the New York Philharmonic. Music Director Lorin Maazel will be on the podium for a program of music appropriate for the festive occasion, and the guest artist will be the acclaimed violinist, Joshua Bell. I first encountered Joshua Bell at the Spoleto Festival, U.S.A. in Charleston, South Carolina. He was then barely into his teens but he was already a formidable violinist, playing chamber music with some of the world's most honored musicians. Not long afterward he burst upon the international scene at what was described as "a sensational debut" with the Philadelphia Orchestra and its Music Director of the time, Riccardo Muti. Joshua Bell was brought up in Bloomington, Indiana, where his father was a Professor at Indiana University. I.U., as it is known in academia, is an extraordinary university, with a School of Music that is world-renowned. Among its outstanding faculty was the eminent violinist Josef Gingold, who became Josh's inspired (and inspiring) mentor and devoted friend. Indeed it was the presence of Gingold in Indiana that led to the establishment of the Indianapolis International Violin Competition. One way for a young musician to attract attention is to win one of the major international competitions.

However, several studies have expressed concern over a lack of connec- tion between the two, and they have raised questions concerning the performative qualities of traditional analytic theory.1 If theorists are to achieve one of the objectives of analysis in provid- ing performers with information for making decisions, and to develop what John Rink calls “informed intuition,” then they need to understand what types of analysis—and what details in an analysis—can be of service to performers.2 As we know, notation is not music; notation must be realized as music, and the first step involves score study.

  • RICCARDO MUTI New World Records 80370 CHARLES DUTOIT the PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA VINCENT PERSICHETTI
    RICCARDO MUTI New World Records 80370 CHARLES DUTOIT THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA VINCENT PERSICHETTI Symphony for Strings Piano Concerto ROBERT TAUB, piano During the last four decades of his life, the name of Vincent Persichetti came to signify musicianship of a comprehensiveness virtually unmatched among American composers. Today his influence continues, reaching young pianists nurtured on his Sonatinas and Little Piano Book, school musicians who first experience serious contemporary music through his works for band, church choirs who turn to his Hymns and Responses for the Church Year as an inexhaustible resource, young composers who find his classic textbook Twentieth Century Harmony an indispensable tool, and soloists and conductors for whom his sonatas, concertos, and symphonies stand among the masterworks of American music. Throughout his life Persichetti encouraged healthy, creative participation in music at all levels of sophistication, while shunning dogmas that advocate one compositional approach at the expense of others. Persichetti was born in Philadelphia in 1915, and remained a lifelong resident of that city. At the age of five, he learned to play the piano, organ, and double bass at the Combs Conservatory. He also studied theory and composition under Russell King Miller, who became his most influential teacher. Immershing himself in music while in his teens, Persichetti memorized the scores to be performed weekly by the Philadelphia Orchestra and then attended the concerts to compare his mental realizations with the actual sounds. Composition was an integral part of his study from the start, as was exposure to other arts. Persichetti attended art school during his adolescence, and sculpture continued to be an important creative outlet for him until his death in 1987.
