    About This Event

    Event: Gustavo Dudamel & Yunchan Lim Venue: David Geffen Hall Gustavo Dudamel inaugurates his season with the New York Philharmonic, featuring a program that reflects America's musical diversity. The concert includes a World Premiere by composer Leilehua Lanzilotti, Charles Ives' Symphony No. 2, and features pianist Yunchan Lim performing Bartók's Piano Concerto No. 3.

    About Symphony No. 2(symphony)

    Charles Ives’s *Symphony No. 2* sits at the hinge point between European symphonic tradition and an unmistakably American, collage-like ear. Hymn tunes, marches, and familiar melodic fragments surface and collide inside a conventional four-movement frame, as if the concert hall were overhearing the street. At David Geffen Hall, Gustavo Dudamel leads the New York Philharmonic in a program that places Ives alongside a new work by Leilehua Lanzilotti and appearances by Yunchan Lim. One can hear Ives testing how much American memory a symphony can hold without breaking its form.
