Through the years Messiaen's "Quartet 'For the End of Time'" has gained a sort of 'cult status'... if you've heard the work you know why; if you've not hear it yet, please join us tonight at 7 pm for it.

Back in late 2012 Slovakian-born conductor Juraj Valcuha made his conducting debut with the New York Philharmonic. Hear it here tonight!

Tone Poem: a single-movement work for (usually) orchestra that illustrates or evokes the content of a poem, short story, novel, painting, landscape, or other (non-musical) source, like "Don Juan" by Richard Strauss, on tonight's "Evening Concert".

Tune in Saturday, August 8 to get schooled on Richard Strauss' tone poems. 

Tonight's concert might be deemed to be about the depiction of "Time" in music: the life and death of an artist, a philosopher, and a new notion of it (time).
