Live From Lincoln Center

Father and son discuss Stephen Sondheim's music, conductor to conductor.

The New York Philharmonic celebrates the dazzling orchestral world of Stephen Sondheim in a program hosted by Bernadette Peters, with special guest vocalist Katrina Lenk (Tony Award™ winner for “The Band’s Visit”). Conducted by Alexander Gemignani, the concert will feature some of Sondheim’s most beloved works, including suites from "Sunday in the Park," "Into the Woods," "Sweeney Todd" and more.

Humor is not the first thing you think of when you hear the name of Ludwig van Beethoven intoned. And yet, as Paul Neubauer, Tara Helen O'Connor and Aaron Boyd, the three performers of his Serenade in D major for Flute, Violin, and Viola, attest, he was not averse to indulging an impish spirit in this unusual piece, performed at the Church of the Archangels in Milies, Greece.

Greece is commonly seen as the birthplace of the Classical ideal. The extraordinary musicians of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center journey to this remarkable land, performing works embodying the essence of classical music in iconic settings like the ancient theatre of Larissa and the historic Church of the Taxiarchon in Pelion – culminating in a mighty version of Mendelssohn’s Octet.

Outwardly self-effacing, this magnificent little church in the town of Milies on Mount Pelion opens into a world of unexpected beauty and reverence - including an inventive sound system which makes it the perfect space for the intimacy of a Chamber Music Society concert. Scholar John Hale and Father Konstantinos Koukouvinis give us an exclusive tour.
