CONTACT! – the New York Philharmonic’s dynamic contemporary music programme – brings new scores from New York to the Barbican.

When Alan Gilbert became music director of the New York Philharmonic, CONTACT! was one of his first innovations – connecting the Philharmonic directly to the most imaginative new voices in one of the world’s most creative cities. Today CONTACT! comes to London, with a programme that includes Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Homunculus.

“Gilbert has also shown more interest in modern music than any [New York] Philharmonic director since Boulez” says Alex Ross, and with performances in alternative venues ranging from NoHo’s SubCulture to the Museum of Modern Art, collaborators including Yefim Bronfman, Matthias Pintscher and Esa-Pekka Salonen, and programmes dominated by premieres, CONTACT! has given this famous orchestra a new energy. Today’s programme is a celebration of virtuosity – and a chance for London audiences to experience that electricity at first hand, as the NYPO’s leading players engage with works by some of the world’s most exciting creators of new music.



Musicians from the New York Philharmonic


Daniel Bjarnason : Five possibilities
Timothy Andres : Early to Rise
Missy Mazzoli : Dissolve my heart

Leila Josefowicz violin
John Novacek piano


Schumann’s subjective reflections and the personal psychological torments expressed in his Violin Sonata No. 1 set the concentrated mood for this recital.

Leila Josefowicz and John Novacek also bring Magnus Lindberg’s Wigmore Hall commission to life and explore the pulsating rhythms and shifting patterns of John Adams’s Road Movies. Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tüür’s rip-roaring Conversio completes this irresistible programme mix.



Robert Schumann : Sonata for violin and piano No. 1 in A minor Op. 105
Magnus Lindberg : New Work
Erkki-Sven Tüür : Conversio
John Adams : Road Movies

Total Immersion: Boulez at 90
Barbican Hall, London
Barbican, Silk Street, London EC2
United Kingdom

Pierre Boulez is one of the most important voices in post-war European culture. As a composer he has defined the sound of 20th and 21st century music; as conductor he has re-defined the possibilities of Mahler, Wagner and more; as cultural thinker he has shaken up the establishment; and as a teacher he has inspired the next generation. In 2015 we celebrate his 90th year with a BBC Symphony Orchestra Total Immersion day and concerts by the London Symphony Orchestra and the pioneering Ensemble Intercontemporain, founded by Boulez himself in 1976.
