New York Philharmonic: PHILHARMONIC 360 at the Park Avenue Armory: June 29 & 30, 2012
Posted in: Arts and Culture, Music and Concerts, Upcoming Events
In two epic evenings, the New York Philharmonic will explore the spatial qualities of the Armory’s soaring, 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall with four iconic works in which the orchestra members surround the audience. The centerpiece of the evening will be the rarely-performed Gruppen by Karlheinz Stockhausen—a work that requires three orchestras and three conductors. Also on the program are Pierre Boulez’s Rituel in Memoriam Bruno Maderna, the Finale of Act I from Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni, and Charles Ives’ The Unanswered Question. Performances will take place Friday, June 29th and Saturday, June 30th, 2012 at 8pm.
