Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Beatrice Rana give interviews following their performance as part of WQXR’s Carnegie Hall Live series. June 7

Live radio broadcasts and webcasts brought the excitement of Carnegie Hall concerts to global audiences. The eighth season of the Carnegie Hall Live radio and digital series was launched when Carnegie Hall and 105.9 FM WQXR partnered to broadcast the Opening Night Gala concert featuring Michael Tilson Thomas leading the San Francisco Symphony with sopranos Renée Fleming and Audra McDonald. The series continued with Sir John Eliot Gardiner leading the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique in an all-Berlioz program, the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim, Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducting The Philadelphia Orchestra with pianist Beatrice Rana, and more. At-home audiences watched selected concerts via medici.tv in its fifth year of partnership with Carnegie Hall. In addition to the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra concert, there were webcasts of Daniil Trifonov’s recital, Joyce DiDonato master classes from the Resnick Education Wing, the New World Symphony conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas, and all three of Carnegie Hall’s national

As a companion to the season’s many amazing live performances, Carnegie Hall was able to guide musical experiences and tell fascinating stories as an Apple Music curator. For a fourth season, subscribers to Apple Music were able to enjoy playlists that explored Carnegie Hall programming, including musical selections aligned with series created by Perspectives artists Michael Tilson Thomas and Yuja Wang, Debs Composer’s Chair Chris Thile, the Migrations: The Making of America festival, highlights of the 2018–2019 season, and more.

Carnegie Hall’s website, carnegiehall.org, remained a vital educational resource as a central destination for sharing free classroom resources with students and educators around the globe. Classroom teachers were able to connect students in grades K–2 to rich and diverse musical communities with the pilot launch of Musical Explorers Digital. Emerging musicians and educators were also able to refine their crafts with a series of master classes and other digital resources. There was NYO-U, which consisted of free online mini–master classes written and produced by members and alumni of the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA) and NYO2. Emerging artists were also able to watch a series of The summer 2019 NYO Jazz webcast as seen from the control room backstage at YouTube videos in which artists such as Joyce DiDonato, members of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and others shared Beijing’s National Centre for the Performing Arts their musical insights.

DIGITAL INITIATIVES 67 Thanks to the tremendous dedication and generosity of its Trustees Donors and donors, Carnegie Hall’s mission of bringing brilliant music performed by the world’s finest artists to the widest possible audience was accomplished once again this year. During the 2018–2019 season, more than 10,000 donors contributed over $31 million to the Annual Fund, sustaining the growth of Carnegie Hall’s artistic and educational programs. Julie Skarratt Julie
