Performance

Devil’s Radio

4 upcoming performances in New York

At David Geffen Hall, the New York Philharmonic gives the New York premiere of Mason Bates’s *Devil’s Radio*, conducted by David Robertson alongside Leila Josefowicz. The title nods to an earlier pop-era reference, but Bates redirects it toward an orchestral soundscape shaped by broadcast noise, electronic traces, and the way public media saturates private life. In a program that also includes Lutosławski and Szymanowski, the piece reads as a contemporary document of how we listen now. Its most pointed idea is that “signal” and “interference” are no longer separable.
