Britten’s Four Sea Interludes depicts foreboding ocean moods and a vicious storm. Takemitsu’s I hear the water dreaming, featuring Principal Flute Robert Langevin as soloist, portrays the role of water in an Australian aboriginal myth. John Luther Adams’s Become Desert dramatizes one of the many consequences of human activity on our planet. The composer regards the work as “both a celebration of the deserts we are given, and a lamentation of the deserts we create.”

From Water to Desert

Lincoln Center

Experience Beethoven’s Ode to Joy in the new David Geffen Hall as the NY Phil performs the composer’s monumental Ninth Symphony. Amplifying the work’s iconic themes of unity and hope, fanfares awaken and illuminate every corner of the new hall, and a World Premiere by Angélica Negrón celebrates the powerful ritual of gathering around music and art. Together we will connect the past with the present in an evening that looks to the future.
