Two of classical music's biggest names meet in Gustavo Dudamel's first season as the Philharmonic's music director, with Yo-Yo Ma soloing in Osvaldo Golijov's Azul alongside hyper-accordion and two percussionists. The program opens with a new Philharmonic commission from Tania León and the Adagietto from Mahler's Fifth. It runs about an hour, so this is the rare sold-out marquee concert that fits neatly before dinner.
What to expect
The renovated Wu Tsai Theater wraps seating close around the stage, and the program runs straight through without an intermission. Expect a dressed-up Friday crowd, a lobby buzzing before the downbeat, and a short, focused concert that leaves the rest of the evening free for dinner nearby.
Good to know
- The concert is sold out, so watch the NY Phil site for returned tickets rather than buying from unofficial sellers.
- Take the 1 train to 66 St-Lincoln Center.
- There is no intermission, so arrive with time to find your seat.
- Latecomers may be held until a suitable break in the music.
