The New York Philharmonic moves into the Park Avenue Armory in New York tonight for a Philharmonic 360 concert – “Spatial Music from Mozart’s Don Giovanni to Stockhausen’s Gruppen”.
The 55,000-square-foot Thompson Drill Hall (photo) has been turned into a unique concert space, with the orchestra in three groups surrounding the audience.
Alan Gilbert, Magnus Lindberg and Matthias Pintscher conduct the New York Philharmonic.
Programme:
Pierre Boulez: Rituel
in memoriam Bruno Maderna
Mozart: Finale of Act I from Don Giovanni
Karlheinz Stockhausen: Gruppen
Charles Ives: The Unanswered Question
“When the New York Philharmonic plays Mahler, I enjoy this deep feeling of pathos”
