Wagner took more than a quarter-century to write the Ring cycle, and Beethoven revised his sole opera, Fidelio, continually over the course of a decade. But we live in a faster-paced world now. When the acclaimed vocal innovator Bobby McFerrin and a cast of international singers take the stage of Zankel Hall for the May 2 Young Artists Concert that’s being described as Instant Opera, the performers will have known one another only a week, and none of them—including McFerrin—will have a clue where the music is going.
That’s exactly how McFerrin likes it.

“I don’t understand how musicians can get bored,” pianist Mitsuko Uchida recently told the London Guardian. “But that’s probably because I don’t play that many concerts. I have time to learn new music and go back to old.”

“[Bronfman displayed] crackling clarity and sweep”

Gil Shaham, Violin
Lynn Harrell, Cello
Emerson String Quartet
Eugene Drucker, Violin
Philip Setzer, Violin
Lawrence Dutton, Viola
David Finckel, Cello
Two pinnacles of the Russian chamber repertory—Shostakovich’s Piano Quintet, alternately searching and humorous, and Tchaikovsky’s brilliant Piano Trio, written in memory of a close friend—provide a stylistic contrast to new works from Marc-André Dalbavie and Jörg Widmann, two of today’s most prominent European composers.
Perspectives: Yefim Bronfman

“a towering conductor”—New York Times
CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Bernard Haitink, Principal Conductor
Kelley O’Connor, Mezzo-Soprano

Tickets start at $38.

The Trustees of Carnegie Hall gratefully acknowledge the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Debs in support of the 2007–2008 season.
FRI, MAY 16 at 8 PM
Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Bernard Haitink, Principal Conductor
A longtime champion of Shostakovich’s music, Haitink returns to the Fourth Symphony, recognized as one of the composer’s boldest, most politically charged scores. In fact, the political climate of Russia in the 1930s deprived audiences of this stunning symphony (with its Mahler-like outcry) for nearly 25 years.
Pre-concert talk starts at 7 PM in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage with Ara Guzelimian, Provost and Dean, The Juilliard School.
Tickets start at $38.
