Carnegie Hall Presents Ensemble Connect

Ensemble Connect has been called "the new face of classical music for New York" by The New York Times. In the season's first performance, the ensemble performs Schubert's lively "Trout" Quintet—a remarkable piece that showcases the composer's gift for melody while highlighting the uniquely beautiful possibilities unlocked by its unusual instrumentation. Also featured is Barber's Summer Music—an enduring favorite, and the composer's sole chamber work for wind instruments—and Missy Mazzoli's Still Life with Avalanche, which she describes as "a piece about finding beauty in chaos, and vice versa."
