Carnegie Hall: Ensemble intercontemporain

Founded by Pierre Boulez in 1976, the prolific Ensemble intercontemporain is an endlessly versatile group comprising 31 soloists. This top contemporary music ensemble has amassed a repertoire of more than 3,000 modern works and counting. "Music has always been new at its time," said Music Director and Conductor Matthias Pintscher following the group's 2022 Polar Music Prize win. "Every listener is equally qualified." This evening's program is a tribute to the group’s iconic founder, and features a New York premiere by Pintscher, Schoenberg's Five Pieces for Orchestra, and Boulez's Dérive 2.
