Philharmonic Families: Winds
About This Event
Philharmonic Families: Winds at David Geffen Hall pairs conductor Benjamin Adler and visual director Doug Fitch with musicians from the New York Philharmonic and guest artists including soprano Rebecca Young, oboist Sherry Sylar, William Hestand, Leelanee Sterrett and Yoobin Son. The family-centered program emphasizes close ensemble playing and integrated staging; Fitch’s visual ideas and Adler’s direction frame wind repertoire and chamber pieces for young listeners with clear musical storytelling rather than spectacle.
