The Evening Concert

Three works for piano-four-hands played by six pianists!

Somehow, as a youth I thought that the 1812 Overture was written and first performed in the year 1812! It's a great and fun work still 200-plus years later... and 150-plus years since Tchaikovsky wrote it.

It's semi-autobiographical. It's has the emotional content of the  proverbial "tortured artist". And, it's "fantastic", and it's a Symphony.

Leonard Slatkin has always been a champion of American classical music.

Tonight we have an all-Mozart program that features Dutch pianist Kristian Bezuidenout.

An All-Mozart program from Salzburg starts the week (Monday night) and Mendelssohn's D Minor Piano Trio closes the week (Sunday night).

When you tune in to hear the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's broadcasts, you hear their theme music. That theme music will be played in its entirety on tonight's program!

The Fourth of July is Saturday. Join us for a holiday-themed program.

Two hundred years. That is how long the score for the Haydn Cello Concerto #1 was 'lost'.     The score was discovered in the Prague National Museum in 1961, the work having been written (started for certain) in 1761.

It has the "reputation of being one of the most technically challenging piano concertos" ever written....it's the "Rach 3" [Rachmaninoff 3rd Piano Concerto]
