Alisa Weilerstein and the New York Philharmonic Premiere Thomas Larcher's returning into darkness Under the Baton of Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider

Mar. 31, 2025

Led by Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, Alisa Weilerstein and the New York Philharmonic premiere Thomas Larcher's returning into darkness on April 3-5 at the Wu Tsai Theater, David Geffen Hall.

Larcher describes his new work as: "A journey beginning with a glissando coming out of silence and ending with a glissando into silence. And in between? Growing, developing ways of speaking, losing friends, losing love, finding oneself in complete turmoil, in exhaustion, being trapped in your language, losing your language, getting no air, seeing beauty behind a wall of glass which cannot be broken, searching for light, breaking into pieces, finally disappearing leaving behind some dust. The piece was initiated and driven on by Alisa Weilerstein and her wonderfully expressive playing."
