Breaking Ground
27 November 2019
Pekka Kuusisto and Nico Muhly join forces for a special one-night only performance.
According to The Telegraph (London), Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto “surely has the most personal sound of any classical violinist now alive.” Composer-pianist Nico Muhly is one of the most celebrated and sought-after classical composers of the last decade and is the youngest composer ever commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera. These ground-breaking classical musicians join forces for a hallmark program of their own curating that combines the music of J.S. Bach with contemporary fare.
- CONCERT duration
- 60 mins
An immersive and meditative evening that promises work by Muhly (including “Drones and Violin”), Arvo Pärt, Bach, and Philip Glass (from the incidental music to Genet’s “The Screens”) Finnish folk and more.
