Carnegie Hall’s 2008–2009 Season, Page 2 of 11
Highlights Overview
With two major festivals—Bernstein: The Best of All Possible Worlds and Honor! A Celebration of the
African American Cultural Legacy—anchoring its 2008–2009 season, Carnegie Hall invites audiences to
explore important American themes, celebrating the musical riches and diverse cultural history of the US—a
history that has been intertwined with that of the Hall for nearly 120 years.
Carnegie Hall’s season opens on September 24 with a gala concert launching Bernstein: The Best of All
Possible Worlds with Michael Tilson Thomas leading the San Francisco Symphony and soloists Thomas
Hampson, Yo-Yo Ma, and Dawn Upshaw in an all-Bernstein program, to be recorded for later broadcast on
PBS’s Great Performances. The Bernstein festival, co-presented with the New York Philharmonic,
celebrates the extraordinary achievements of the late Leonard Bernstein, one of the most important
international musicians of the 20th century and a quintessential New Yorker, in commemoration of the 90th
anniversary of his birth and the 50th anniversary of his appointment as the Music Director of the New York
Philharmonic. The citywide festival continues through December 13 and includes over 30 events and
educational projects at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, New York City Center, and other collaborating
partner venues.
In March 2009, Carnegie Hall salutes the enduring vitality, influence, and creativity of African American
music. Curated by renowned soprano Jessye Norman, Honor! A Celebration of the African American
Cultural Legacy offers a personal exploration of the Spiritual, gospel, jazz, R&B, and classical voices that
have made African American music celebrated throughout the world; it also pays tribute to these pioneering
artists with nearly 20 concerts, recitals, and panel discussions at Carnegie Hall, the Apollo Theater, The
Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and other venues in the city.
The Bernstein and Honor! festivals represent Carnegie Hall’s commitment to presenting major festivals
each season, drawing together all of the Hall’s programmatic and educational resources and inviting
audiences to explore compelling themes, reflected across the spectrum of the arts. Carnegie Hall launched
this initiative in November 2007 with its first major international festival Berlin in Lights, which received
worldwide acclaim. As with Berlin in Lights, Carnegie Hall’s two American festivals in 2008–2009 feature
collaborations with a wide variety of cultural institutions throughout New York City and large-scale education
projects under the aegis of The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall.
Major highlights of Carnegie Hall’s 2008–2009 season also include the 10th anniversary of Carnegie Hall’s
Perspectives, with personally curated series by conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim and tabla player
Zakir Hussain; the appointment of American composer Elliott Carter to the Richard and Barbara Debs
Composer’s Chair at Carnegie Hall during his 100th birthday year; and a celebration of the music of
Hungary, to include a weeklong residency by eminent composer György Kurtág, who makes his first visit
to New York. Also, the extensive educational activities of The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall and of
The Academy!a program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and The Weill Music Institute in
partnership with the New York City Department of Education!have been further integrated into Carnegie
Hall’s programming. Programs of The Weill Music Institute continue to offer valuable opportunities for
people from all walks of life to engage more closely with music with special programs to be presented as
integral parts of the two American festivals as well as eight Professional Training Workshops for young
professional musicians, led by world-class visiting artists.
For the fourth consecutive year, Bank of America will be Carnegie Hall’s season sponsor. ”We are
immensely grateful to Bank of America for their tremendous support,” said Mr. Gillinson. “Their ongoing
commitment helps us to build on the great history of Carnegie Hall, honoring the Hall’s remarkable traditions
of presenting artists and ensembles who represent the very best in music, creating diverse programming
that attracts a wide variety of audiences, and expanding programming initiatives to provide access to new
audiences, bringing the joy of extraordinary music to ever more people.”
Bernstein: The Best of All Possible Worlds, presented by Carnegie Hall and the New York Philharmonic,
celebrates one of the most important international musicians of the 20th century and a quintessential New
Yorker—Leonard Bernstein—in commemoration of the 90th anniversary of his birth and the 50th
anniversary of his appointment as Music Director of the New York Philharmonic. Recognizing Bernstein’s
many roles as performer, composer, educator, advocate, and idealist, this wide-ranging festival, presented
from September 24 to December 13, 2008, features more than 30 events at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher
Hall, New York City Center, and a number of partner venues throughout New York City. The celebration,
reflecting Bernstein’s multifaceted artistry and work in diverse musical genres, includes concerts, recitals,

Perspectives
Featured in the inaugural season of Perspectives in 1999–2000, acclaimed pianist and conductor Daniel
Barenboim becomes the first artist to be invited for a second time to curate Carnegie Hall’s hallmark
concert series, now entering its 10th season. Barenboim is featured in over 15 performances next season,
appearing as conductor, soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician. As the music director of the Staatskapelle
Berlin, Barenboim, in partnership with fellow conductor and close musical colleague Pierre Boulez, leads
the orchestra in a complete cycle of Mahler symphonies, performed by the Staatskapelle in ten concerts.
The Mahler symphony cycle also features several sets of the composer’s lieder, with soloists Dorothea
Röschmann, Michelle DeYoung, Burkhard Fritz, Thomas Hampson, and Thomas Quasthoff. As pianist,
Barenboim joins Carnegie Hall’s celebration of composer Elliott Carter’s centenary in two concerts,
presenting the New York premiere of Carter’s Interventions with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and
conductor James Levine on the evening of the composer’s 100th birthday, and performing later in the
season in an all-Carter chamber concert featuring members of the Staatskapelle Berlin. Barenboim and
Levine also collaborate at the keyboard, performing works for four hands: Schubert’s Fantasie in F Minor at
the Boston Symphony concert, as well as Schubert’s “Grand Duo” Sonata and both sets of Brahms’s
Liebeslieder-Walzer on a program by The MET Chamber Ensemble. As part of his Perspectives, Mr.
Barenboim conducts Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde at the Metropolitan Opera and performs a solo piano
recital on the Met’s stage—an exceptionally rare event.
Indian classical tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain—who curates a five-event Perspectives—has received
countless honors in his illustrious career, including the titles of Padma Bhushan in 2002 and Padma Shri in
1988, given to civilians of merit by the Indian government, becoming the youngest percussionist to be
awarded these titles. Hussain is recognized both in the field of percussion and in the music world at large as
an international phenomenon and a chief architect of the contemporary world music movement. His historic
collaborations have included such groups as Shakti, Remember Shakti, Diga Rhythm Band, Making Music,
Planet Drum, Tabla Beat Science, and Sangam, in addition to recordings and performances with artists as
diverse as George Harrison, Joe Henderson, Van Morrison, Airto Moreira, Giovanni Hidalgo, Pharoah
Sanders, Billy Cobham, Rennie Harris, and the Kodo drummers of Japan. Hussain’s Perspectives at
Carnegie Hall celebrates the scope of his collaborative career. As part of the series, he performs with
santoor master Pandit Shivkumar Sharma; his own group Masters of Percussion, featuring percussion
virtuosos from around the world; double bass player Edgar Meyer and banjo player Béla Fleck; and an allstar ensemble featuring members of Remember Shakti—ghatam player T.H. “Vikku” Vinayakram, mandolin
player U. Shrinivas, kanjira and mridangam player V. Selvaganesh, and vocalist Shankar Mahadevan—
along with saxophonist Charles Lloyd and drummer Eric Harland of his jazz trio Sangam. Hussain—a longtime teacher who has been a visiting professor at both Princeton and Stanford universities—extends his
mentorship skills at Carnegie Hall, working with young musicians in a Professional Training Workshop
presented by The Weill Music Institute.
Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair at Carnegie Hall, 2008–2009 Season
Carnegie Hall has appointed Elliott Carter to its Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair and has
planned a season-long celebration of his works in honor of his 100th birthday. Internationally recognized as
a legendary American voice in classical music, Carter is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the first
composer to receive the United States National Medal of Arts, and one of the few composers to win
Germany’s prestigious Ernst von Siemens Music Prize. At 99 years of age, he has composed over 130
works, including 30 in the last ten years and nine in 2007. In the new season, Carnegie Hall pays tribute to
Mr. Carter—who turns 100 in December—by programming a wide variety of his music, including a number
of premieres and commissions, in contexts that illuminate his central role in the music of the last hundred
years.
Carnegie Hall’s tribute to Carter launches on his 100th birthday—December 11, 2008—when James Levine
leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra and pianist Daniel Barenboim in the New York premiere of his
Interventions, co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall. The following day, Carter’s chamber works, including the
New York premiere of 2004’s Mosaic, are featured in a Making Music program with musical selections
interspersed with film interludes by Frank Scheffer. Notable champions of Carter’s music perform special
concerts of his work in celebration of the centenary: pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard performs a program
entitled Carter in Context, pairing the composer’s formidable solo works for piano with selections from
Bach’s The Art of Fugue; Pierre Boulez conducts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in the New York
premiere of Carter’s Réflexions on a program that also includes works by Ives and Varèse, two composers
much admired by Carter; and Barenboim performs in an all-Carter chamber music program with members
of the Staatskapelle Berlin, including the Quintet for Piano and Winds and the Quintet for Piano and Strings.
The holders of the Carnegie Hall Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair have been Ellen Taaffe
Zwilich (1995–1999), Pierre Boulez (1999–2003), John Adams (2003–2007), and Thomas Adès (2007–
2008).
Celebrating Hungary
In late January/early February 2009, Carnegie Hall presents a celebration of the music of Hungary,
encompassing orchestral, chamber, and folk music. The focus also highlights the music of three leading
voices of Hungarian modernism: György Ligeti, Peter Eötvös, and György Kurtág, who makes his first visit
to New York, appearing as composer, performer, and educator.
Kurtág’s eight-day New York residency serves as the centerpiece of Carnegie Hall’s Hungarian music
celebration, with the composer and his music featured in three events. With his wife Márta, he performs
selections from his ongoing work of miniatures for piano, Játékok (“Games”), on a program that also
includes the US premiere of his work Hipartita for Solo Violin with soloist Hiromi Kikuchi. Eötvös—himself
highly influenced by the music of Kurtág and Ligeti—conducts the UMZE Ensemble and Amadinda
Percussion Group of Hungary in a chamber music program featuring the world premiere of the complete
version of Kurtág’s Songs to Poems by Anna Akhmatova and Messages of the Late R. V. Troussova paired
with Melodien, Cello Concerto, and Sippal, dobbal, nadihegeduvel (With Pipes, Drums, Fiddles), all by
Ligeti, Kurtág’s late colleague and friend. During his New York visit, Kurtág also leads, for the first time in
the US, one of his renowned workshops for young string quartets, focusing on his own music as well as
repertoire by Beethoven and Bartók, as part of Carnegie Hall’s series of Professional Training Workshops
presented by The Weill Music Institute.
Eötvös is himself the subject of a Making Music program during the Hungarian music focus, in an evening
featuring a discussion with the composer and performances of his works, including a number of US
premieres performed by Ensemble ACJW. Launching the celebration, Hungary’s leading classical music
exponents, the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Music Director Iván Fischer, perform folk-inspired works by
Liszt and Brahms, along with traditional Gypsy folk music featuring renowned Hungarian father and son
violinists József Lendvay Sr. and József Lendvay Jr, as well as cimbalom player Oszkár Ökrös. Also
featured are traditional Gypsy music concerts by violinist Roby Lakatos and vocalist Beáta Palya. The
celebration culminates with a performance of the great Austro-Hungarian composer Joseph Haydn’s choral
masterwork, The Creation, led by conductor Helmuth Rilling as the concluding concert of the Carnegie Hall
Choral Workshop.
Celebrating Hungary at Carnegie Hall is part of the citywide 2009 HERE HUNGARY Festival, presented by
the Hungarian Ministry of Culture.
The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall
In the new season, the extensive education programs of The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall continue
to enrich the Hall’s concert programming, providing musical journeys of exploration for audiences, children,
families, students, musicians, and festival-goers. During Carnegie Hall’s 2008–2009 festivals—Bernstein
and Honor!—The Weill Music Institute implements large-scale education projects for school students, as
well as a variety of family, community, and classroom programs.
As part of Bernstein: The Best of All Possible Worlds, The Weill Music Institute presents The Bernstein
Mass Project, a creative-learning project for New York City middle and high school students, who will be
engaged in a variety of initiatives created to explore Bernstein’s Mass beginning in spring 2008. Exploring
the work’s themes of faith, doubt, tolerance, and renewal of tradition, students will compose original choral
anthems and perform them in a free concert in Zankel Hall. In the Project’s culminating event, hundreds of
school children form a massive choir, joining conductor Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
for a performance of the Mass at the United Palace Theater in the Washington Heights neighborhood of
New York City. Other WMI programs presented during the Bernstein festival include a Carnegie Hall
Family Concert and Discovery Day: Leonard Bernstein, a program exploring several aspects of
Bernstein’s life through panel discussions and multimedia presentations. In addition, LinkUP! classroom
curriculum for third- to fifth-grade students focuses on American music, including Bernstein’s.
In conjunction with the Jessye Norman festival, Honor! A Celebration of the African American Cultural
Legacy, The Weill Music Institute presents its annual Carnegie Hall National High School Choral
Festival, in which four high school choirs from across the country, selected by audition, work with choral
conductor Craig Jessop on Sir Michael Tippett’s 1941 oratorio A Child of Our Time in preparation for a final
performance at Carnegie Hall. One of the most deeply moving and spiritually uplifting contemporary choral
works of the 20th century, A Child of Our Time uses the African American Spiritual in much the same way
that Bach employed chorales in his great choral compositions. The students also perform excerpts of the
work in a concert at the Apollo Theater. Additional activities during Honor! include a series of Carnegie Hall
Neighborhood Concerts (artists and locations to be announced) and the Perelman American Roots
program for middle school music and social studies students, a specially created yearlong curriculum that
focuses on the broad and meaningful connections between the tradition of African American song forms
and the history of the United States.
In another highlight of the new season, The Weill Music Institute’s series of Professional Training
Workshops, in which some of Carnegie Hall’s renowned visiting artists work closely with select young
professional musicians, feature eight sessions this year, led by composer Osvaldo Golijov and soprano
Dawn Upshaw; György and Márta Kurtág; tabla player Zakir Hussain; and violinist Pamela Frank and
pianist Claude Frank; as well as two annual events: the Carnegie Hall Choral Workshop, led this year by
conductor Helmuth Rilling, and The Song Continues …, a celebration of the vocal recital presented in
partnership with The Marilyn Horne Foundation, celebrating its 15-year anniversary. The Weill Music
Institute also launches a workshop for wind and brass players interested in perfecting their orchestral
playing skills next season, including one-on-one lessons, ensemble playing, preparation for auditions, and
public performances, with guidance from leading players from top professional orchestras. Further details
on this new workshop will be announced at a later date.
The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall creates broad-reaching music education programs, playing a
central role in the Hall’s commitment to making great music accessible to as many people as possible
through creative musical interaction and inspiring lifelong learning. Educational programs are woven into the
fabric of the Carnegie Hall concert season, with opportunities for preschoolers to adults, new listeners to
emerging professional musicians. The Weill Music Institute annually serves over 115,000 children, students,
teachers, parents, young music professionals, and adults in the New York City metropolitan area, across
the United States, and around the world.
The Academy
Beginning in the 2008–2009 season, activities of The Academy—a program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard
School, and The Weill Music Institute in partnership with the New York City Department of Education—are
even further integrated into Carnegie Hall’s regular concert programming. For the first time, concerts by
Ensemble ACJW—made up of fellows of The Academy—are presented as part of Carnegie Hall various
subscription series, many featuring collaborations with visiting artists. Performance highlights of the
Ensemble’s 14 concerts at Carnegie Hall and The Juilliard School include programs with conductors Peter
Eötvös, Oliver Knussen, Andrew Manze, and Susanna Mälkki. In addition, Ensemble ACJW is featured in
its own subscription series, Chamber Sessions IV.
Established in January 2007, The Academy is an innovative two-year fellowship program designed for
outstanding US-based post-graduate musicians embarking on their careers. The program, which combines
extensive performance opportunities with intensive music education training, seeks to instill in the artist of
tomorrow both the highest performance standards and the capacity to give back to the community, inspiring
new generations of musicians and music lovers. Central to the program is the partnership with the New
York City Department of Education, in which each Academy Fellow is paired with a New York City public
school, working with students in their classrooms in collaboration with their music teachers, for an average
of 1.5 days per week for 24 weeks. The Academy, currently comprising 34 fellows, completes the second
phase of its pilot program in June 2008.
2008–2009 Season Overview
The 2008–2009 Carnegie Hall season of over 200 events includes close to 160 orchestral, chamber, and
recital performances; more than 40 pop, jazz, folk, and world music concerts; and a number of additional

Bernstein festival, the San Francisco Symphony and Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas appear in
two subsequent concerts, closing its series with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. The Chicago Symphony
Orchestra appears four times in the new season, twice under Conductor Laureate Pierre Boulez in a wide
array of 20th-century masterworks from Stravinsky to Ives, and twice under Principal Conductor Bernard
Haitink in the monumental Bruckner Eighth and Schubert Ninth Symphonies. The Cleveland Orchestra
and Music Director Franz Welser-Möst perform the New York premiere of George Benjamin’s Piano
Concerto with Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder with soprano Measha
Brueggergosman as part of its three-concert series.
Carnegie Hall celebrates the 80th birthday of conductor-pianist-composer André Previn this season. Previn
leads The Philadelphia Orchestra in Strauss’s Symphonia domestica and Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24
from the keyboard, as well as the Orchestra of St. Luke’s in a program of his own works, including the
world premiere of a concerto for violin and viola for Anne-Sophie Mutter and Yuri Bashmet and arias from
A Streetcar Named Desire with soprano Renée Fleming. In addition, Carnegie Hall has commissioned a
new work from Previn, a piano trio that has its world premiere by The Mutter-Previn-Harrell Trio on a
chamber music program in the spring.
The Philadelphia Orchestra appears three more times in the new season, twice under Chief Conductor
Charles Dutoit in works ranging from the first piano concertos of Prokofiev and Shostakovich with soloist
Martha Argerich to Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World,” and the New York premiere of
George Walker’s Violin Concerto as part of the Jessye Norman-curated festival Honor!. Sir Simon Rattle
also leads the orchestra in Berlioz’s La damnation de Faust with soloists Magdalena Ko!ená, Giuseppe
Sabbatini, and Thomas Quasthoff. In addition to the Previn program, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s offers a
concert version of Osvaldo Golijov’s opera Ainadamar conducted by Robert Spano with vocalists Dawn
Upshaw, Kelley O’Connor, and Emily Albrink, and an all-Mozart concert led by Roberto Abbado.
In addition to the premiere of Elliott Carter’s Interventions with pianist Daniel Barenboim, the Boston
Symphony Orchestra and Music Director James Levine give the New York premieres of new works by
Leon Kirchner and Gunther Schuller, and perform Schumann’s Piano Concerto with Maurizio Pollini and
Mozart arias with Barbara Frittoli over three concerts. Levine also leads the annual three-concert series by
The MET Orchestra with soloists including violinist Christian Tetzlaff, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato,
and pianists Peter Serkin and Lang Lang.
The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zubin Mehta makes its annual three-concert visit, with
highlights such as Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht, Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9, and Strauss’s Ein
Heldenleben. Chief Conductor Mariss Jansons leads the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in three
programs featuring new works by Jörg Widmann and Rodion Shchedrin, in addition to Mozart’s Piano
Concerto No. 25 with Emanuel Ax and Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 1 with Julia Fischer, among other
works.
David Robertson leads the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra in two programs, including the New York
premiere of Kaija Saariaho’s Mirage with soprano Karita Mattila and cellist Anssi Karttunen in Stern
Auditorium/Perelman Stage, and, in Zankel Hall, HK Gruber’s Frankenstein!! and Stravinsky’s Histoire du
soldat. And, in addition to marking the 65th anniversary of Leonard Bernstein’s historic Philharmonic debut
with a program led by Music Director Designate Alan Gilbert, the New York Philharmonic returns with two
programs led by Lorin Maazel in his final season as Music Director.
Chamber Music
A number of exceptional chamber music collaborations take place at Carnegie Hall during the new season.
Violinist Christian Tetzlaff, renowned as a soloist throughout the world, brings his quartet, the Tetzlaff
Quartet, which features his sister, cellist Tanja Tetzlaff, violinist Elisabeth Kufferath, and violist Hanna
Weinmeister to Zankel Hall. Violinist Gil Shaham collaborates on two all-Brahms programs with such artists
as cellist Alisa Weilerstein and pianists Akira Eguchi and Orli Shaham. And flutist Emmanuel Pahud
performs Bach and other Baroque music with harpsichordist Trevor Pinnock and cellist Jonathan
Manson.

A Celebration of
the African American
Cultural Legacy
Curated by
Jessye Norman
Jessye Norman
From the drumbeats of Mother Africa to the work songs and
Spirituals created in a new land, a path is traced to the blues,
gospel, jazz, rhythm and blues, soul, and hip-hop expressions
of African Americans that are celebrated throughout the
world. The classical music performers have become icons
of concert halls and opera stages everywhere. In charting the story of this great cultural tradition, Jessye Norman
invites you on a personal journey honoring the trailblazers
and the courageous artists of the past with concerts, recitals, lectures, panel discussions, and exhibitions hosted by
Carnegie Hall, the Apollo Theater, The Cathedral of St. John
the Divine, and other sites around the city. This vast cultural
fabric of the African American experience consists not only
of the music, but also the words, the images, and the dances
of a people, all providing rich fulfillment of the Langston
Hughes credo: “Hold fast to dreams.”

EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
Education and community programs are an integral part of Honor! A Celebration of the
African American Cultural Legacy. During the festival, The Weill Music Institute will
present its annual Carnegie Hall National High School Choral Festival, in which four
high school choirs from across the country, selected by audition, will work with choral
conductor Craig Jessop on Sir Michael Tippett’s 1941 oratorio A Child of Our Time, in
preparation for a final performance at Carnegie Hall. One of the most deeply moving and
spiritually uplifting contemporary choral works of the 20th century, A Child of Our Time
uses the African American Spiritual in the same way that Bach employed chorales in his
great choral compositions. The students in the Festival choir will also perform excerpts
of the work in a concert at the Apollo Theater. Additional activities during Honor! include
a series of Carnegie Hall Neighborhood Concerts (artists and locations to be announced)
and the Perelman American Roots program for middle school music and social studies
students, a specially created yearlong curriculum that focuses on the broad and meaningful connections between the tradition of African American song forms and the history of
the United States.
SPECIAL EXHIBIT IN CARNEGIE HALL’S ROSE MUSEUM
In conjunction with the Honor! festival, Carnegie Hall’s Rose Museum will mount a special
exhibition in spring 2009, exploring the fascinating and long history of African American
artists and political and social figures who have appeared at Carnegie Hall throughout its
118-year history.

Cultural Legacy, please visit carnegiehall.org/honor in the coming months.

Perspectives: Daniel Barenboim
Featured in the inaugural season of Perspectives in 1999–2000,
acclaimed pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim becomes
the first artist invited for a second time to curate Carnegie
Hall’s hallmark concert series, now entering its 10th season.
Barenboim is featured in over 15 performances next season,
appearing as conductor, soloist, recitalist, and chamber
musician. As the Music Director of the Staatskapelle Berlin,
Barenboim, in partnership with fellow conductor and close musical colleague Pierre Boulez, leads the orchestra in a complete
cycle of Mahler‘s symphonies, performed by the Staatskapelle
in ten concerts over 12 days. The Mahler symphony cycle
also features several sets of the composer’s lieder, with soloists Dorothea Röschmann, Michelle DeYoung, Burkhard Fritz,
Thomas Hampson, and Thomas Quasthoff.
As pianist, Barenboim is centrally involved in the celebrations of Elliott Carter’s 100th birthday with two concerts at
Carnegie Hall. On Carter’s 100th birthday, December 11, 2008,
Barenboim appears as soloist with the Boston Symphony
Orchestra and conductor James Levine in the New York
premiere of the composer’s Interventions, co-commissioned
by Carnegie Hall, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and
the Staatskapelle Berlin. Later in the season, he returns to
Carnegie Hall with members of the Staatskapelle Berlin for
an all-Carter chamber concert in Zankel Hall. With Levine,
Barenboim also collaborates at the keyboard, performing
works for four hands: Schubert’s Fantasie in F Minor at the
Boston Symphony concert as well as Schubert’s “Grand Duo”
Sonata and both sets of Brahms’s Liebeslieder-Walzer on
a program by The MET Chamber Ensemble. As part of his
Perspectives series, Barenboim conducts Wagner’s Tristan
und Isolde at the Metropolitan Opera and performs a solo
piano recital on the Met’s stage—an exceptionally rare event.

Perspectives: Zakir Hussain
Indian classical tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain has received
countless honors in his illustrious career, including the titles
of Padma Bhushan in 2002 and Padma Shri in 1988, given
to civilians of merit by the Indian government, becoming
the youngest percussionist to be awarded these titles.
Hussain is recognized both in the field of percussion and in
the music world at large as an international phenomenon
and a chief architect of the contemporary world-music
movement. His historic collaborations have included such
groups as Shakti, Remember Shakti, Diga Rhythm Band,
Making Music, Planet Drum, Tabla Beat Science, and
Sangam, in addition to recordings and performances with
artists as diverse as George Harrison, Joe Henderson,
Van Morrison, Airto Moreira, Giovanni Hidalgo, Pharoah
Sanders, Billy Cobham, Rennie Harris, and the Kodo
drummers of Japan.
This season, Hussain curates a five-event Perspectives
at Carnegie Hall celebrating the scope of his collaborative
career. As part of the series, he performs with santoor
master Pandit Shivkumar Sharma; his own group Masters of Percussion, made up of percussion virtuosos from
around the world; double-bass player Edgar Meyer and
banjo player Béla Fleck; and in an all-star concert featuring
members of Remember Shakti—ghatam player T. H. “Vikku” Vinayakram, mandolin player U. Shrinivas, kanjira and
mridangam player V. Selvaganesh, and vocalist Shankar
Mahadevan—along with saxophonist Charles Lloyd and
drummer Eric Harland of his jazz trio Sangam. Hussain—a
longtime teacher who has been a visiting professor at both
Princeton and Stanford universities—extends his mentorship skills at Carnegie Hall, working with young musicians
in a Professional Training Workshop presented by The
Weill Music Institute.

EllioTt CArter
Holder of the Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair
Elliott Carter has been appointed to hold the Richard and Barbara
Debs Composer’s Chair for the 2008–2009 season. Internationally recognized as a legendary American voice in classical music,
Carter is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the first composer to receive the United States National Medal of Arts, and
one of the few composers to win Germany’s prestigious Ernst
von Siemens Music Prize. At 99 years of age, he has composed
over 130 works, including 30 in the last ten years and nine in 2007.
In the new season, Carnegie Hall pays tribute to Mr. Carter—
who turns 100 in December—by programming a wide variety of
his music, including a number of premieres and Carnegie Hall
commissions, in contexts that illuminate his central role in the
music of the last hundred years.
Carter’s Carnegie Hall residency launches during his 100th birthday week with concerts including James Levine leading the
Boston Symphony Orchestra and pianist Daniel Barenboim in
the New York premiere of Carter’s Interventions for Piano and
Orchestra, co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and the Staatskapelle Berlin. The following day,
a Carnegie Hall Making Music program features Carter’s chamber
works, including the New York premiere of 2004’s Mosaic, with
film interludes directed by Frank Scheffer. In addition to Levine,
other notable champions of Carter’s music perform special tribute
concerts to him during the new season: pianist Pierre-Laurent
Aimard presents a program entitled Carter in Context, which pairs
the composer’s formidable solo works for piano with selections
from Bach’s The Art of Fugue; Pierre Boulez conducts the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra in the New York premiere of Carter’s
Réflexions in a concert that also includes works by Ives and
Varèse, two composers whose work Carter greatly admires; and
Barenboim performs in a program of Carter’s chamber music—
including the Quintet for Piano and Winds and the Quintet for
Piano and Strings—with members of the Staatskapelle Berlin.
Elliott CArter
Previous holders of the Carnegie Hall Composer’s Chair are
Ellen Taaffe Zwilich (1995–1999), Pierre Boulez (1999–2003),
John Adams (2003–2007), and Thomas Adès (2007–2008).

Born in New York City, Elliott Carter was first encouraged to pursue a musical career by his friend and mentor Charles Ives. He
went on to study composition at Harvard with Walter Piston and
in Paris with Nadia Boulanger. With his explorations into tempo
relationships and texture, Carter’s consistently innovative and
dynamic output of works is unmistakably American. Among his
best known compositions in his vast catalogue are Symphonia,
Variations for Orchestra, and Symphony for Three Orchestras as
well as a number of concertos and string quartets. Recent years
have seen an outpouring of major orchestral scores such as Micomicón and Soundings, along with numerous chamber works
and the composer’s first opera, What Next? Carter’s late style is
marked by transparency and clarity of texture, with a new directness of formal design. His music has been championed by leading conductors including Pierre Boulez, Daniel Barenboim, Oliver
Knussen, James Levine, Kent Nagano, David Robertson, and
Christoph von Dohnányi. He is one of a handful of living composers elected to the Classical Music Hall of Fame.

Celebrating Hungary at Carnegie Hall
In late January/early February, Carnegie Hall presents a celebration of the folk, symphonic, chamber, and new music of
Hungary. The celebration includes an eight-day residency by
renowned composer, pedagogue, and pianist György Kurtág in
his first-ever New York appearance; performances of traditional
folk music by Gypsy violinist Roby Lakatos and vocalist Beáta
Palya; folk-inspired symphonic works and traditional Gypsy
folk music performed by the Budapest Festival Orchestra and
Music Director Iván Fischer with father/son violinists József
Lendvay Sr. and József Lendvay Jr. as well as cimbalom player
Oszkár Ökrös; a Making Music program focusing on the work
of composer Peter Eötvös; and a performance of the great
Austro-Hungarian composer Joseph Haydn’s hugely influential
choral masterwork, The Creation, the culminating event of the
Carnegie Hall Choral Workshop led by Helmuth Rilling.
Composer György Kurtág’s eight-day residency serves as the
centerpiece of Carnegie Hall’s Celebrating Hungary. Kurtág and
his compositions are featured in three events at Carnegie Hall,
including a concert with the composer performing transcriptions and selections from his Játékok (“Games”) with his wife,
pianist Márta Kurtág; a chamber program of his own works
performed alongside music by his late colleague, friend, and
countryman György Ligeti, performed by Hungary’s two leading
contemporary music groups, UMZE Ensemble and Amadinda
Percussion Group; and, for the first time in the US, one of his
renowned workshops for young string quartets—focusing on
his music as well as that of Beethoven and Bartók—part of Carnegie Hall’s Professional Training Workshop series presented by
The Weill Music Institute.

The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall
Integrating Artistic Excellence with Educational Outreach
Reflecting Leonard Bernstein’s legacy as an extraordinary
educator, a key component of this festival will be The
Bernstein Mass Project, an expansive education program
for New York City public school students. Starting in spring
2008, students will be engaged in a variety of educational
initiatives exploring Bernstein’s Mass and its themes of
faith, doubt, tolerance, and renewal of tradition. For the
project’s grand finale in the fall, participating students will
come together for two performances: a program of original
student compositions inspired by the Mass in Zankel Hall,
and a performance of the work with Marin Alsop, the
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and a massive choir of
hundreds of young people at the United Palace Theater
in Upper Manhattan. Other WMI programs presented
during the Bernstein festival include a Carnegie Hall Family
Concert and Discovery Day: Leonard Bernstein, a program
exploring several aspects of Bernstein’s life through panel
discussions and multimedia presentations. In addition,
LinkUP! classroom curriculum for 3rd to 5th grade students
focuses on American music including that of Bernstein.
WMI programs
Honor! A Celebration of the African American
Cultural Legacy
1
Education and community programs are an integral part of this
festival curated by renowned soprano Jessye Norman. WMI
will present the culminating concert of its annual National
High School Choral Festival, in which four high school choirs
from across the country, selected by audition, will work with
choral conductor Dr. Craig Jessop on Sir Michael Tippett’s
1941 oratorio A Child of Our Time, in preparation for the
final performance at Carnegie Hall. One of the most deeply
moving and spiritually uplifting contemporary choral works
of the 20th century, A Child of Our Time uses the African
American Spiritual in the same way that Bach employed
chorales in his great choral compositions. The students will
also perform excerpts of the work in a concert at the Apollo
Theater. Additional activities during Honor! include a series
of Carnegie Hall Neighborhood Concerts and the Perelman
American Roots program for middle school music and social
studies students, a specially created yearlong curriculum
that focuses on the broad and meaningful connections
between the tradition of African American song forms and
the history of the United States. Professional Training Workshops—over 15 years
training the next generation
The Weill Music Institute’s series of Professional Training
Workshops, in which some of Carnegie Hall’s renowned
visiting artists work closely with select young professional
musicians, feature eight sessions this year, with programs
led by composer Osvaldo Golijov and soprano Dawn
Upshaw, composer György Kurtág and Márta Kurtág, tabla
player Zakir Hussain, and violinist Pamela Frank and pianist
Claude Frank, as well as two annual events: the Carnegie
Hall Choral Workshop, led by conductor Helmuth Rilling,
and The Song Continues…, a celebration of the vocal recital
presented in partnership with The Marilyn Horne Foundation.
The Weill Music Institute also launches a workshop for wind
and brass players interested in perfecting their orchestral
playing skills next season, including one-on-one lessons,
ensemble playing, mock auditions, and public performances,
with guidance from leading players from top professional
orchestras. Further details on this new orchestral workshop
will be announced at a later date.

The Juilliard School, and The Weill Music Institute in partnership with the New York
City Department of Education—are even further integrated into Carnegie Hall’s
regular concert programming. For the first time, concerts by Ensemble ACJW—

working with students in their classrooms in collaboration with their music teachers, for an average of 1.5 days per week for
24 weeks. The Academy, currently comprised of 34 fellows, completes the second phase of its pilot program in June 2008.
Fellows of The Academy are graduates of music schools including The Curtis Institute of Music, Eastman School of Music, The
