January 17-19, 2025
Praised by "The New York Times" as "one of the most admired pianists of his generation," Inon Barnatan joins New Century for a program of music written to distract from life's challenges. Experience C.P.E. Bach's dramatic third keyboard concerto, blending melancholy with bursts of impeccable brilliance. Rich with iconic musical allusions, Dmitri Shostakovich's delightfully madcap first piano concerto also features a solo trumpet, performed by Brandon Ridenour from the American Brass Quintet, which adds punctuation to the vibrant score. Bela Bartok's "Divertimento", with its jubilant Hungarian folk rhythms, reflects a sunny interlude in Switzerland before the composer's relocation to the U.S. This captivating musical adventure, full of witty melodies and unexpected twists, will brighten your spirits during the darkest time of the year.

Keyboard Concerto No. 3 in D minor, H. 420
