“When I learned that Alan Gilbert was going to be the next Music Director, I thought, ‘That’s perfect.’ This guy has everything.” –Carter Brey, Principal Cello

The players not only respect his talent, but also trust his instincts. He recognizes the skill of every musician, and understands how to inspire each one. This is a musical partnership of the highest level, borne of the shared admiration one finds among fellow musicians who bring a lifetime of artistic accomplishment to every concert they give.

The Russian Stravinsky

A Philharmonic Festival Conducted By Valery Gergiev “You cannot imagine how happy I am today,” said Igor Stravinsky when he touched Russian soil after 50 years in exile. “I have spoken Russian all my life, I think in Russian, my manner of speaking is Russian,” he said. “Maybe you cannot see it in my music at once, but it underlies it.” Hear for yourself as the New York Philharmonic and one of the most electrifying Russian maestros of our time reveal the Russian pulse inside the many masterpieces by Stravinsky.

Additional concerts, lectures, symposia, and much more to be announced. Visit nyphil.org for complete details.

Valery Gergiev Conductor Please see April 28–29 listing for Oedipus Rex cast.

The New York Premiere, Directed by Douglas Fitch Alan Gilbert and Director Douglas Fitch bring György Ligeti’s fantastical 1975 opera, perhaps the most humorous and irony-filled examination of mortality ever composed, to the Philharmonic stage for its New York Premiere.

STRAVINSKY Orpheus STRAVINSKY Oedipus Rex

Focus on Le Grand Macabre

STRAVINSKY Les Noces STRAVINSKY Symphonies of Wind Instruments STRAVINSKY The Firebird (complete)

Sunday, May 2 | 3:00pm

György Ligeti’s only opera, Le Grand Macabre, concerns itself with nothing less than the end of the world. This surreal and darkly whimsical work is staged by Director Douglas Fitch, whose unique vision combines miniature landscapes, live animation, choreographed cameramen, and a large projection screen. Ligeti’s brilliant, delightful score ranges from interludes for automobile horns and doorbells to vocal flights of breathtaking coloratura. An endearing satire of sublime music, this fantastical piece has grown in artistic recognition to become the most performed contemporary opera. The New York Times revered Le Grand Macabre as “the biggest achievement of one of the greatest composers of our time.”
