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

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.

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.

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.
