ASO presents Elliott Carter: An American Original at Carnegie Hall, Nov. 17th

An all-Carter program with ASO
featuring Anthony McGill, clarinet, Mary Mackenzie, soprano, and Teresa
Buchholz, mezzo-soprano. Most seats $25. Tickets at carnegiehall.org

A year after his death at age 103, the ASO pays tribute to Elliott
Carter, a life-long New Yorker, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and one
of the greatest composers of the second half of the 20th century. This
performance of six orchestral works by the prolific American composer,
who published more than 50 of his works after the age of 90, reveals the
range and extent of Carter’s inventive genius.

Maestro Leon Botstein shares the stories behind the music in a lively
30-minute Conductor’s Notes Q&A at 1 PM in Stern
Auditorium/Perelman Stage. Free for all ticket holders.
