Ensemble Connect by Fadi Kheir
Experience the versatility of Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect in this intimate Weill Recital Hall performance. The program begins with Schubert’s unfinished “Quartettsatz,” which endures today as a striking single movement and one of music’s great “what-ifs.” Two New York premieres follow by Katherine Balch, an exciting contemporary composer whose works have been commissioned by the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Ensemble Modern, and Carnegie Hall, among others. Berio’s Ricorrenze, written for the composer’s friend Pierre Boulez, is featured as part of Carnegie Hall’s ongoing Boulez centennial celebration. The concert closes with Beethoven’s Septet in E-flat Major, one of the septet format’s quintessential works during Beethoven’s lifetime and ours.
