JAAP VAN ZWEDEN INVITES YOU TO DISCOVER THE 2019/20 SEASON

Welcome to the second season led by Jaap van

Zweden. And what a season it promises to be. It will

challenge you. It will cause you to reflect on the past.

Celebrate the present. And look toward the future.

Mahler’s New YorkOne of the most beloved and revered composers,

Gustav Mahler took the subway to work at the

New York Philharmonic, where he served as the

tenth Music Director between 1909 and 1911.

This season, the Philharmonic invites New Yorkers

to get acquainted with their fellow straphanger

through Mahler’s New York, featuring his first two

symphonies, the one-night-only Mahler Grooves

concert, a walking tour of Mahler’s New York,

and more.

premieres in the 2019–20 season.

Project 1919 Commissions Celebrating the Centennial of the 19th Amendment One hundred years after American women gained

the right to vote, the Philharmonic celebrates the

19th Amendment by commissioning 19 new works

by women. The multi-season Project 19 launches in

February 2020 with a three-week festival featuring

three World Premieres plus collaborations with

MetLiveArts, the Academy of American Poets,

The Juilliard School, and other partners.

Hotspots FestivalThe final three weeks of the season shine a light on three hotspots of classical music innovation.

Berlin: where the bohemian and underground thrive.

Reykjavík: where Europe’s tectonic plate meets North

America’s, where Björk and Sufjan Stevens cross paths

with Nico Muhly and Bryce Dessner.

New York City: where leading artists from around the

globe convene.

The festival features World Premieres by Berlin-

based Olga Neuwirth; Nico Muhly, co-founder of

Reykjavík’s Bedroom Community collective; and

Sarah Kirkland Snider, co-founder of the Brooklyn-

based New Amsterdam Records. It wouldn’t be a

new-music festival without Sound ON and Nightcap, featuring the composers of these three World

Premieres. It all culminates in a season finale not to

be missed.

nyphil.org/hotspots

Bluebeard’s Castle A woman wanders a forest at night desperately

searching for her lover. Newlyweds Duke Bluebeard

and Judith arrive at the Duke’s dark castle, each

of its seven rooms more shocking than the last.

The Philharmonic presents a staged production of

two psychological, Expressionist one-act operas by

Schoenberg (1909) and Bartók (1911).

Music Director Jaap van Zweden conducts and

2018 Birgit Nilsson Prize winner Nina Stemme stars

in the US Stage Premiere of this bold double-bill

directed and designed by Bengt Gomér. This event

will be complemented by our Sound ON series,

returning this year.

YOUNG PEOPLE’S CONCERTS™

Bring a special young person

in your life to the New York

Philharmonic, and we’ll help

nurture a lifelong love of music

and concert-going. Made

famous by Leonard Bernstein,

this beloved Saturday afternoon

series will highlight music by

women composers and premieres

by students in our Very Young

Composers program. All Young

People’s Concerts are preceded by

YPC Overtures at 12:45pm, where

children can meet Philharmonic

musicians, try out instruments,

and listen to music by Very Young

Composers.

“A Composer’s Toolkit”

Like all builders, composers use special

tools to capture their unique musical

sounds and ideas. Audiences will explore

how tradition and new concepts, from

grand musical statements to atmospheric

sounds, create a timeless art form.

Featuring music by Beethoven and

one of our own Very Young Composers!

Jaap van Zweden conducts.

“Orchestral Music in America”

The impact of orchestral music spans

the globe, and music from America is

no exception. From Florence B. Price

to Leonard Bernstein, the music in this

country pays tribute to the symphonic

tradition and our collective identity. Hear

how a range of cultures and perspectives

come together with the orchestra to

create an American voice.

“Music as a Change Agent”

What are ways in which music can

spark dialogue and enact change?

Drawing on centuries of repertoire, this

program will highlight composers whose

works both reflect and contribute to

larger social issues.

“The Woman’s Voice”

In celebration of the 100th anniversary

of the 19th Amendment of the United

States Constitution — which gave women

the right to vote — we hear voices who

helped pave the way and continue to

spotlight women’s rights.
