New York Philharmonic: PHILHARMONIC 360

Park Avenue Armory l New York Philharmonic
Alan Gilbert, Music Director

June 29 & 30, 2012

Spatial Music from Mozart’s Don Giovanni to Stockhausen’s Gruppen

In two epic evenings, the New York Philharmonic will explore the spatial qualities of the Armory’s soaring, 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall with four iconic works in which the orchestra members surround the audience. The centerpiece of the evening will be the rarely-performed Gruppen by Karlheinz Stockhausen—a work that requires three orchestras and three conductors. Also on the program are Pierre Boulez’s Rituel in Memoriam Bruno Maderna, the Finale of Act I from Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni, and Charles Ives’ The Unanswered Question.

Conductors: Alan Gilbert, Magnus Lindberg and Matthias Pintscher
Director and Designer: Michael Counts
Theater Design: Fisher Dachs Associates

Ryan McKinney (Don Giovanni); Julianna Di Giacomo (Donna Anna);
