ABOUT THIS EVENT

The Philadelphia Orchestra and Yannick Nézet-Séguin continue to offer an extremely impressive variety of programming, with the final concert of their 2022–2023 Carnegie Hall season comprising Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and a New York premiere by Pulitzer Prize winner John Luther Adams. The Rite of Spring retains the same visceral impact—tempered by undeniable whimsy—that has taken the piece from infamy to seminal status. Joining in Vespers of the Blessed Earth, by “America’s de facto chief environmental composer” (NPR), is The Crossing, “America’s most astonishing choir” (The New York Times).

His music perfectly echoes the landscape he loves: impersonal, relentless, larger than human scale, yet gorgeous, a quiet chaos of colors, suffused with light. It’s not a climate everyone could live in. But for those who want to bathe their ears in an aural aurora borealis while staying warm inside, it’s a spiritual odyssey well worth taking. - Kyle Gann
