The final Artist Showcase of the 2023 Festival features an all-star roster of musicians. Hai-Ye Ni, Principal Cellist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, is the protagonist of Janáček’s Pohádka (Fairy Tale), which tells the story of a prince who faces a series of tests put to him by the ruler of the underworld. David Halen, Concertmaster of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, shares two favorites by Fritz Kreisler—one of the greatest violinists of all time. Henri Dutilleux’s sparkling Sonatine features Jasmine Choi, the “goddess of the flute” according to The Korea Times. Along with Ni, faculty artists Jennifer Frautschi, Teng Li, Timothy Cobb, and Robert Levin form a supergroup for Schubert’s joyous and supremely melodic “Trout” Quintet.

Fairy Tale

Beatrice Friedman Symphony Center

Join us on your lunch break! A part of our new choose-what-you-pay series, this concert features NY Phil musicians playing works by Wolf, Rossini, and Brahms in the intimate yet contemporary Kenneth C. Griffin Sidewalk Studio — our brand-new, street-level event space.

NY Phil @ Noon

Lincoln Center

An orchestra transformed into a trio, a string orchestra to a septet, and a quartet to a string orchestra—these powerful works not only transform themselves but transport the listeners. The merry pranks of Till Eulenspiegel are followed by the stirring postwar elegy of Metamorphosen in two of Strauss’s most ingenious works, and we close the festival with Schubert’s dramatic and powerful String Quartet re-envisioned by Mahler as an even more dramatic and powerful symphonic work, performed by an all-star string ensemble.

Join us for the Musical Prelude with Pelia Quartet for their performance of Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major.

Finale: Metamorphosis

Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center

Using the instrumentation of some of the most iconic pieces in music—Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet and Schubert’s Octet and “Trout” Quintet—composers Brahms, Françaix, and Chris Rogerson create their own unique and masterful works.

Join us for the Musical Prelude with Aestas Trio for their performance of Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht (arr. for piano trio by Eduard Steuermann)
