New York Philharmonic Presents: CONTACT!
Tickets
Meet us in Brooklyn at National Sawdust, “the sort of place that makes a new-music aficionado want to bring a sleeping bag and move in for a few weeks” (New York magazine), for a peek inside Esa-Pekka Salonen’s notebook of influences. You’ll hear his own Floof, plus music by his mentors Donatoni and Castiglioni as well as Lutosławski, “for years the most central influence of my life.”
