LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER rings in the new year with a special broadcast of the New York Philharmonic’s opening gala concert featuring music director Alan Gilbert and special guest cello soloist Yo-Yo Ma.
The concert, taped on September 25 at Avery Fisher Hall, will feature dance-inspired orchestral works, including "Azul" by Osvaldo Golijov, a cello concerto written for Ma; the world premiere of an arrangement of Astor Piazzolla’s "La serie del Ángel" by Octavio Brunetti, commissioned by the New York Philharmonic; and two classics by Maurice Ravel, "Alborada del gracioso" and "Boléro."
Audra McDonald hosts the broadcast, which features interstitial interviews with Yo-Yo Ma and composer Osvaldo Golijov.
