Works by Bartók

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Works by Bartók” at Alice Tully Hall frames the composer in the setting he helped redefine: modern chamber music built from folk material, sharp rhythm, and lean, exacting textures. Presented by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center alongside Liszt, the program places Bartók’s 20th‑century language against a Romantic predecessor. Bartók’s New York ties run deep, from his late‑career years in the city to the early American advocacy his music received here. One clear takeaway is how his intensity reads less as display than as structure.
