  • 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.

  • Juilliard Dance
    Juilliard Dance Senior Graduation Concert 2019 Welcome to Juilliard Dance Senior Graduation Concert 2019 Tonight, you will experience the culmination of a transformative four-year journey for the senior class of Juilliard Dance. Through rigorous physical training and artistic and intellectual exploration, all of the fourth-year dancers have expanded the possibilities of their movement abilities, stretching beyond what they thought possible when entering the program as freshmen. They have accepted the challenge of what it means to be a generous citizen artist and hold that responsibility close to their hearts. Chosen by the dancers, the solos and duets presented tonight have been commissioned for this evening or acquired from existing repertory and staged for this singular occasion. The works represent the manifestation of an evolution of growth and the discovery of their powerfully unique artistic voices. I am immensely proud of each and every fourth-year artist; it has been a joy and an honor to get to know the senior class, a group of individuals who will inevitably change the landscape of the field of dance as it exists today. Please join me for a standing ovation, cheering on the members of the class of 2019 as they take the stage for the last time together in the Peter Jay Sharp Theater. Well done, dancers—we thank you for your beautiful contributions to our Juilliard community and to the world beyond our campus.

    PLEASE NOTE: ONE OF THESE CDS CONSTITUTES SPECIAL PROGRAMMING FOR MOZART’S 250TH BIRTHDAY ON JANUARY 27, 2006 For immediate release LERA AUERBACH PERFORMS IN TWO NEWLY-RELEASED CDS FEATURING UNUSUAL REPERTORY: TOLSTOY’S WALTZ (WITH WORKS BY WRITERS TOLSTOY AND PASTERNAK, IMPRESARIO DIAGHILEV, CHOREOGRAPHER BALANCHINE, AND OTHERS) AND AUERBACH PLAYS MOZART: COMPLETE KEYBOARD WORKS FROM AGES 5 TO 9 Lera Auerbach, who is also one of the foremost composers of her generation, is featured as pianist in two newly-released CDs, both comprising rarely-heard repertory: Auerbach Plays Mozart: Complete Keyboard Works From Ages 5 To 9 (Arabesque Z6795) and Tolstoy’s Waltz (BIS CD-1502). The Mozart CD – released in advance of the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth, on January 27, 2006 – includes 49 bands – one to ten of pieces from Nannerl’s Notebook (1761-1763), and 11 to 49 of the London Notebook (1764-1765). Mozart’s father, Leopold, wrote about his eight-year-old son, saying that the boy knew “what one would expect only from a man of forty!” Mozart, of course, never lived to see his 36th year. As Michael White writes in the album’s liner notes, “Perhaps the most fascinating discovery is that many of the chromatic twists, repeated note patterns, and cadential formulas found here keep reappearing throughout all of Mozart’s mature composition! We are immediately reminded that with no other composer do we find juvenilia of such undeniable quality and loveliness.” The London Notebook, Dr. White writes, “…is actually a group of 39 short pieces for keyboard… the boy imitated every conceivable type of operatic genre from overture, interlude, and procession, to recitative, aria and ensemble… It is remarkable that the eight-year-old child could distinguish so clearly between the two contrasting styles of opera buffa (comic) and opera seria (tragic).
