Sir Simon Rattle & Lester Lynch to Present Concert at Carnegie Hall
By Francisco SalazarThe Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra is set to present a concert at Carnegie Hall.
The concert will be performed on May 2 at the Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage with Sir Simon Rattle conducting a program featuring baritone Lester Lynch.
The evening will include Gustav Mahler’s Sixth Symphony, Hindemith’s “Ragtime (Well-Tempered),” and Zemlinsky’s “Symphonische Gesänge, Op. 20.” The latter works reveal the Weimar Republic’s electrifying sense of cross-cultural artistic possibility, as ragtime music and poetry of the Harlem Renaissance become integral components of 1920s works by leading German composers.
The program is the first of two programs at Carnegie Hall. The second will be performed on May 3 and will feature music by Wagner, Ades, and Beethoven.
