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.

  • Program Notes

    Program Notes

    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM Pro Musica March 23, 2017 Academy of St Martin in the Fields Aaron Copland (1900-1990) Quiet City Aaron Copland’s compositions are divided into three periods: the early jazz-inspired works, the severely avant-garde, and the “Americana” or populist style that produced his most beloved works such as Rodeo, Appalachian Spring, Lincoln Portrait, and Fanfare for the Common Man. While Quiet City of 1940 falls into Copland’s populist style, we should be cautious about that categorization causing us to miss the work’s purely musical qualities and genius. That said, we must recognize it as one of the most evocative pieces of Copland’s output. In this case, it paints a night in a sleepless city, presumably New York, Copland’s home. Based on Copland’s incidental music for Irwin Shaw’s failed play of the same name, Quiet City was premiered in 1941 by the Saidenberg Little Symphony in New York City. Copland himself commented that the work was “an attempt to mirror the troubled main character of Irwin Shaw’s play.” He also admitted that Quiet City “seems to have become a musical entity superseding the original reasons for its composition.” On Mozart and Shostakovich In light of the combination of Mozart and Shostakovich on this program, we offer the following thoughts: On the death of the American novelist Saul Bellow, The New York Times reported that Mr. Bellow once told a reporter that “for many years, Mozart was a kind of idol to me—this rapturous singing that’s always on the edge of sadness and melancholy and disappointment and heartbreak, but always ready for an outburst of the most delicious music.” One could say much of the same about the music of Shostakovich, thus pointing to the raison d’etre for combining these two composers on a program.

    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.

This season, Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin and The Philadelphia Orchestra invite you to experience the transformative power of fellowship through a bold exploration of sound. 2 2020–21 Season 3 “For me, music is more than an art form. It’s an artistic force connecting us to each other and to the world around us. I love that our concerts create a space for people to gather as a community—to explore and experience an incredible spectrum of music. Sometimes, we spend an evening in the concert hall together, and it’s simply some hours of joy and beauty. Other times there may be an additional purpose, music in dialogue with an issue or an idea, maybe historic or current, or even a thought that is still not fully formed in our minds and hearts. What’s wonderful is that music gives voice to ideas and feelings that words alone do not; it touches all aspects of our being. Music inspires us to reflect deeply, and music brings us great joy, and so much more.
