Carnegie Hall has announced that the Philip Glass Ensemble’s sold-out performance next Friday, February 16, at 8:00 p.m. in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, will be webcast live, free of charge, to a worldwide audience on medici.tv and carnegiehall.org/medici.
The collaboration between Carnegie Hall and medici.tv—making live webcasts of select Carnegie Hall concerts available to music lovers everywhere—began in fall 2014 and has since showcased performances by some of the world’s most celebrated artists. These webcasts—which, most recently included Carnegie Hall’s performances by violinist Janine Jansen featuring pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet and the Dover Quartet, Zubin Mehta leading the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra with soloists Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman, and Sir Antonio Pappano leading the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia with pianist Martha Argerich—have been enthusiastically received, reaching over 5 million views over the past three seasons with audience members originating from more than 180 countries and territories around the world.
This February 16 performance by Philip Glass Ensemble is part of Carnegie Hall’s The ’60s: The Years that Changed America, a citywide festival from January 14 to March 24, 2018, presenting an exciting array of events at Carnegie Hall and at more than 35 leading partner cultural institutions throughout New York City and beyond. This special exploration of the ’60s invites audiences to explore this turbulent decade through the lens of arts and culture, including music’s role as a meaningful vehicle to inspire social change.
