The concerts take place Wednesday, November 4, 2015, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, November 5 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, November 6 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, November 7 at 8:00 p.m. Alan Gilbert has led the Orchestra in works by Mozart each season since he became Music Director. “Mozart is perhaps the undisputed master; programming his music is both a responsibility and a pleasure — we all deserve to experience his works every year,” Alan Gilbert said. “I am glad to be able to present the Gran partita, which, although performed by a smaller ensemble, is so epic in its scope and so orchestral in its sound quality that it absolutely fills the hall. It truly is a standout masterpiece.” Principal Horn Philip Myers has performed the Horn Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmonic eight times. The New York Times wrote of his January 2008 performance of the work: “Mr. Myers was at his best as well. After the intermission he offered a rich, virtually flawless rendering of Mozart’s E flat Concerto.” Related Events Philharmonic Free Fridays The New York Philharmonic is offering 100 free tickets for young people ages 13–26 to the concert Friday, November 6 as part of Philharmonic Free Fridays.

    Joelle Wallach Long Biography Joelle Wallach composes music for orchestra, chamber ensembles, solo voices and chorus. Infused with the vivid imagery of nature and myth, her music’s intimate expressivity and persuasive emotional landscapes speak to the soul. Much of Wallach’s work is concerned with 20th and 21st century issues from perspectives beyond the strictly musical; each using conventional musical techniques and instruments to reach beyond the past into a vibrant - if at times disturbing - present. Frequently her music is the fruit of connections with colleagues and disciplines beyond music. Wallach’s early training in piano, voice, theory, bassoon and violin included study at the Juilliard Preparatory Division, and she earned bachelors and masters degrees at Sarah Lawrence College and Columbia University respectively. In 1984 the Manhattan School of Music, where she studied with John Corigliano, granted her its first doctorate in composition. Although she makes her home in New York City, where she was born, Wallach’s childhood in Morocco colors her work and world view. Her interest in non-Western music is threaded subtly through her work’s engaging, exotic melodies and evocative use of non-Western rhythms and scales. Her years on the Fulbright Senior Scholars Music Panel contributed to her familiarity with creative and scholarly musical activity around the world; and her childhood in Morocco contributed to her abiding interest in cultures and worldviews beyond our own. Since 1980 when her choral work, On the Beach at Night Alone, won first prize in the Inter-American Music Awards, Wallach’s music has consistently won prestigious international prizes, commissions and awards.
