SUMMARY:Immersive Symphony Concert: Sublime Schubert
DESCRIPTION:As you take your seat INSIDE A FULL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA\, you will be overwhelmed as you see\, feel and hear the incredibly moving and captivating music of Franz Schubert–music that pulls you into a world of mystery and suspense\, yet bold\, expansive and unstoppable. Enjoy a reception with the performers following the concert. \nAudience Comments:\n“Absolutely and positively one of the best experiences ever!

Indeed\, I have never been so fully enveloped like that in such magnificent sound. It was a thrill of a lifetime!”

When talking about our favorite things we did during our trip (the girls’ first) to NYC\, this was at the top of everyone’s list. I’d never heard of anything like this and everyone who saw the videos I posted online thought it looked amazing too. I literally started crying the second the music began because I was so happy to be there. The instrument zoo afterwards was also fun for the kids!” \n“Absolutely and positively one of the best experiences ever! This is a smart investment in the future growth of symphony audiences.”

SUMMARY:Stephen Beus in Recital
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Stephen Beus returns to the stage on January 28 at DiMenna Center for a recital that traces a compelling arc from Baroque elegance to Romantic transcendence. The program opens with the poised brilliance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s English Suite No. 3\, interwoven with the refined charm of Jean-Philippe Rameau\, before moving into the rhythmic vitality and introspective richness of Nikolai Medtner. The evening culminates in a pair of monumental works by Franz Liszt—from the lyrical sweep of Am Rhein im Schönen Strome to the visionary drama of Après une lecture du Dante. Known for his intellectual depth\, tonal imagination\, and fearless virtuosity\, Beus offers a recital that is both rigorously crafted and emotionally immersive\, inviting listeners into a journey across centuries of keyboard expression.

SUMMARY:Musica Ricercata
DESCRIPTION:This program pairs two masterworks linked by the idea of “ricercata\,” or “sought music.” \nThe concert opens with György Ligeti’s Musica ricercata (1951-53) in a new arrangement. The title is literal: Ligeti’s goal was to “build a new music from nothing\,” with each of the eleven movements systematically adding new pitches. You may recognize parts of it from the popular Six Bagatelles for Wind Quintet\, which were drawn from this original piano work. \nThis theme of searching continues with Dvořák’s Piano Quintet No. 2\, Op. 81. This radiant\, beloved work is the result of Dvořák’s own 15-year search for the perfect quintet. After destroying his first attempt (Op. 5)\, he returned to the form to create this undisputed masterpiece of chamber music.

SUMMARY:OF SORROW BORN - Michael Hersch's works for solo instruments
DESCRIPTION:A composer of “uncompromising brilliance” (The Washington Post) whose work has been described by The New York Times as “viscerally gripping and emotionally transformative music … claustrophobic and exhilarating at once\, with moments of sublime beauty nestled inside thickets of dark virtuosity\,” Michael Hersch appears as both composer and pianist in NYC for the first time in over seven years along with two of his closest collaborators\, violinist Miranda Cuckson and cellist Coleman Itzkoff. The program includes the world premiere of “Es beginnt” after poetry of another close Hersch collaborator\, poet Anja Utler. \nWhen Hersch last performed his own music in New York alongside Cuckson\, the event was named among the “Top Ten Performances of 2018” by New York Classical Review\, writing that “both players tested the limits of tonal range and virtuosity on their instruments\, while exploring mostly the darker side of human experience.”
