Carnegie goes Latino for a season

Clive Gillinson has just rolled out ‘Nuestros Sonidos’ (our sounds), a 24-25 season aimed at New York’s Latino and Hispanic sectors.

Gustavo Dudamel will be the poster boy, both with the LA Phil and the New York Philharmonic.

Gabriela Ortiz will be composer in residence.

Gillinsonsays: ‘A focus on the enormous impact of Latin culture in the United States is threaded throughout this season, inviting audiences to experience a range of exciting performances from classical music and new works to contemporary popular music as part of our latest Carnegie Hall festival. As we enter the new season, we also look forward to musical journeys with our five Perspectives and Debs artists who have each curated fascinating concert series for the Hall’s audiences, reflecting their musical interests and viewpoints. From the best in early music to presentations featuring the most interesting musical innovators of today, it is a season that we hope will stimulate and inspire concertgoers as they explore these programs.’

There will be visits by the Berlin and Czech philharmonics and the LSO, with Philadelphia and Cleveland, for once, taking a back seat.
