Classical Music | Bach Vespers: Nach Dir, Herr, Verlanget Mich


Program J.S. Bach (1685-1750) Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich, BWV 150 Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich, BWV 150, (For Thee, O Lord, I long), is an early church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach composed for an unknown occasion. It is unique among Bach's cantatas in its sparse orchestration and in the independence and prominence of the chorus, which is featured in four out of seven movements. The text alternates verses from Psalm 25 and poetry by an unknown librettist. Bach scored the work for four vocal parts and a small Baroque instrumental ensemble of two violins, bassoon and basso continuo. Many scholars think that it may be the earliest extant cantata by Bach, possibly composed in Arnstadt in 1707.

Concert | Carnegie Hall Citywide: Carols, Hymns, Historical Ballads From The Country of Georgia


In ancient times, the country of Georgia was called Iberia; the vocal ensemble Iberi honors its homeland’s historic traditions in song. Iberi sings work songs, carols, hymns, historical ballads, and a host of treasures from the pre-Christian era with gripping intensity and virtuosity. Clad in their trademark black coats and boots, the musicians’ iconic brand of polyphonic singing features blocks of unconventional improvised harmonies with wild stratospheric falsetto tones floating above sepulchral bass notes. Drama, ecstasy, and tenderness are at the core of every note Iberi sings.

Classical Music | Organ Recital 


Julian Wachner of Trinity Church, Wall Street has been variously described as “jazzy, energetic, and ingenious,” (Boston Globe), having “splendor, dignity, outstanding tone combinations, sophisticated chromatic exploration…a rich backdrop, wavering between a glimmer and a tingle...,” (La Scena Musicale) being “a compendium of surprises,” (Washington Post) and as “bold and atmospheric,” while having “an imaginative flair for allusive text setting,” and noted for “the silken complexities of his harmonies” (New York Times). He has made guest appearances with such major organizations as the San Francisco, New York City, and Glimmerglass Opera, the New York and Hong Kong Philharmonic and many more.

Staged Reading | Follow the Money: One Son Disinherited


Familial bonds are tested when the patriarch leaves a will that greatly favors one son over the other. Unabashed talk about money brings out the absurdity and pain of economic disparity and conditional love within one family. By Robert Fieldsteel.

Poetry Reading | New Poetry: Tap Out / Company


Tap Out, Edgar Kunz’s debut collection, reckons with working‑class heritage. Approach these poems as short stories, plainspoken lyric essays, controlled arcs of a bildungsroman, then again as narrative verse. Within are poignant, troubling portraits of blue‑collar lives, mental health in contemporary America, and what is conveyed and passed on through touch and words―violent, or simply absent. This hungry new voice asks: after you make the choice to leave, what is left behind, what can you make of it, and at what cost? Sam Ross' Company is the winner of the Four Way Books Levis Prize in Poetry. Ross’s poems are at once earthy and delicate and view their subjects through a perceptive, picaresque lens. Carl Phillips writes of these poems: "Ross pitches nothing less than stubborn belief in tenderness and in the patience both to look everywhere for it and to trustingly wait for it ('I would learn rare//and love and want and wait./I had to start at the beginning.') This a debut both tough and tender, the poems of a man who's been made to look away from the world plenty, and has found a way to look steadily back."

Talk | Pre-Concert Discussion: Bebop Saxophonist and Pianist


This discussion provides background to the McCoy Tyner and Charles McPherson at 80 concert, also featuring the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. Pianist McCoy Tyner and saxophonist Charles McPherson are both true living legends, each of them 80 years old, and they’re here to prove that jazz keeps you young. Charles McPherson is a singular bebop saxophonist. After playing with Charles Mingus for over a decade, McPherson has been traveling all over the world as a renowned leader and mentor. He remains one of the few musicians able to channel the classic bebop might of predecessors like Charlie Parker, but he possesses a powerful style of his own as both a composer and soloist.  Jazz Master McCoy Tyner is an artist whose enduring influence cannot be overstated. Tyner has made invaluable contributions to some of jazz’s greatest concerts and albums, including A Love Supreme, My Favorite Things, and Live at the Village Vanguard as a member of the John Coltrane Quartet.
