Havasi - Journey of Wonders

“Journey of Wonders” comes to Town Hall as a live classical program led by HAVASI, presented in the format of a concert event rather than a staged drama. The piece sits in the contemporary crossover lane, where piano writing borrows from film scoring and pop structures while keeping classical technique in view. In a city with a long tradition of composer-performers testing new formats on midtown stages, the choice of venue places it inside New York’s ongoing argument about what “classical” can include. At times, the narrative framing risks narrowing the music’s ambiguity, but the playing keeps the focus on craft.
