Innovation and Legacy
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Bard Conservatory of Music marks its twentieth anniversary season with three concerts in October, presented in both Upstate New York and New York City. The first two performances, held at the orchestra’s home in the Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theater, inaugurate the series with a preview of rare dimension, offering Bard Family and Alumni/ae Weekend audiences an early opportunity to experience this fully formed program in a setting shaped by the Conservatory and Bard’s own community and creative context. The series concludes with a special gala performance concert at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall the following week.
Together, these October programs honor two historic milestones: the founding of the Conservatory in 2005 and Leon Botstein’s fiftieth year as President of Bard College.
Conducted by Leon Botstein and Tan Dun, the program features Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, with its enduring call for unity, and Tan Dun’s Choral Concerto: Nine, which receives its North American premiere at Alice Tully Hall. This new work offers a bold reimagining of Beethoven’s vision through a contemporary global lens.
