Chamber Music Associates is a unique and flexible chamber music program where participants can explore new repertoire each week or bring back recurring pieces to build over time. The first semester often leans toward exploration, while the second semester encourages musicians to settle on a work to prepare for an optional year-end recital.

Serbian-born cellist Maja Bogdanović makes her long-awaited Richardson Auditorium debut with Camille Saint-Saëns’ melodic first cello concerto, one of the most popular in the repertoire.

Carnegie Hall celebrates its “Concert of the Century” with another once-in-a-lifetime convening of all-stars. Organized 50 years ago by Isaac Stern, the original event brought together some of the world’s greatest musicians for a now-legendary “concert-celebration” that commemorated the anniversary of the Hall’s opening on May 5, 1891. Fifty years later—and 135 years after the opening of the Hall—a new lineup of Carnegie Hall icons makes music history of its own, performing a program that tells the Hall’s story for a new generation. Featured artists include Emanuel Ax, Joyce DiDonato, Michael Feinstein, Renée Fleming, Evgeny Kissin, Lang Lang, Isabel Leonard, Audra McDonald, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and Daniil Trifonov with the NYO-USA All-Stars, Oratorio Society of New York, and more.

Program

Andreia PINTO CORREIA / Ciprés
Sergei PROKOFIEV / Violin Concerto No. 1 in D Major, Op. 19
Dmitri SHOSTAKOVICH / Symphony No. 1 in F Minor, Op. 10

Key Notes

• Andreia Pinto Correia took inspiration for Ciprés from Spanish poet Federico García Lorca’s poem of the same name (1898-1936).

• Prokofiev began writing his first violin concerto in 1915, but due to political unrest in Russia it did not receive its premiere until 1923 when the composer was living in Paris.

• Shostakovich’s watershed first symphony, written as a graduation assignment when he was just 18 years old, bypassed the conservatism of his professors to embrace musical language of the new 20th-century era.

The NYO-USA Alumni Chamber Orchestra (NACO) returns to the Resnick Education Wing following an auspicious debut in May 2025. Its program offers three contrasting works: six short folk dances depicted through Bartok’s distinctive lens; the soulful Adagietto from Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, and Tchaikovsky’s quintessential Serenade for Strings. The musicians of NACO are alumni of Carnegie Hall’s national youth ensembles who have remained active players while primarily pursuing careers outside of music. Having had advanced musical training and performance experience following their participation in NYO-USA and/or NYO2, they are now working in a range of fields including law, finance, technology, medicine, consulting, entrepreneurship, and research/scholarship.
