#NewYorkNotes @nyphil #PeachyandtheCity #WhomYouKnow MUSIC DIRECTOR JAAP van ZWEDEN AND THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY WHOM YOU KNOW

We announced this performance in October 2018:
http://www.whomyouknow.com/2018/10/newyorknotes-nyphil-whomyouknow-music.html#.XA7dRHRKg2w

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and now we know the New York Philharmonic. Peachy Deegan was delighted to attend for the first time, and she loved the second half that was instrumental. It's likely you need to have a sincere love for opera to find the vocals additionally laudable, though obviously accomplished as well.

If going to the symphony has not occurred to you, it should. One of the best aspects of Manhattan is that it attracts the best talent in the world for every discipline, which is one reason why we would never write about just one subject matter like a lot of websites do. We write on excellence, and it is only the truly excellent and intelligent that grasp this concept.

People that frequent the symphony are not just one group; it can be vast and diverse. We appreciate a great faceoff at a New York Rangers game obviously but our ears like to be treated to many sounds! We've worked with The Recording Academy for years now (they were recently named to our Best of 2018) and are delighted to add to our musical repertoire. These performances will delight both young and old and the usher that told Peachy to get in line for 26-year-olds got her experience started on the right note...and note, this is because she just visited Thomas Morrissey at John D'Orazio.

The New York Philharmonic reaches a level of precision boasting minute nuances rarely achieved in any discipline. If a masterpiece painting at The Met had sound, it would sound like this. Avid readers know that Peachy watches 60 Minutes and that is what got us excited about the symphony. (60 minutes is almost as awesome as CBS Sunday morning and Lee Cowan.)

In the bastion of chaos found in Manhattan, particularly during the holidays, it is fabulous to know a refined elegance still exists to make your day or night much more relaxing. You'll be in the presence of both talent and genius, and your ears will be rewarded.

The mesmerizing music will enchant you on a cold winter's day as you meet with the soundtrack to excellence.

The New York Philharmonic is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know.
We look forward to seeing what they do next.

Program Also To Include:

J.S. BACH’s Fuga (Ricercata) from Musical Offering, BWV 1079

MOZART’s Symphony No. 40

December 6–8, 2018

Free INSIGHTS AT THE ATRIUM: “An Evening with Matthias Goerne,” December 5

Music Director Jaap van Zweden will conduct Matthias Goerne’s first appearance as The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence of the New York Philharmonic for the 2018–19 season. He will be joining the Orchestra for orchestral arrangements of selected songs by Schubert and Richard Strauss in concerts that also include Webern’s arrangement of J.S. Bach’s Fuga (Ricercata) from Musical Offering, BWV 1079, and Mozart’s Symphony No. 40. The program takes place Thursday, December 6, 2018, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, December 7 at 2:00 p.m.; and Saturday, December 8 at 8:00 p.m.

Jaap van Zweden and Matthias Goerne have collaborated in orchestral performances of songs by Schubert and Strauss around the world for several years. The Chicago Tribune wrote of one such collaboration, with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 2015: “The songs perfectly suited Goerne’s dark, burnished baritone, his masterful legato, the fullness, evenness and ease of his tonal emission throughout a wide range. … Beyond the sheer beauty of his voice lay the sensibility of a born lieder interpreter, the greatest of his generation. … Van Zweden’s accompaniments were things of great, caring subtlety in their own right.”

“I know few conductors who take such great care that everything is taking shape,” Artist-in-Residence Matthias Goerne said of Music Director Jaap van Zweden. “It makes concerts more interesting, in dramatic color. We try to make the atmosphere such that, even with orchestra, there is the intimacy, the fragility, of chamber music. Any time I have worked with the New York Philharmonic it was absolutely thrilling, especially also in conjunction with the New York audience.”

The Insights at the Atrium event “An Evening with Matthias Goerne” will take place Wednesday, December 5, 2018, at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Goerne will discuss his role as a leading interpreter of German art songs, his inspirations, and his reflections on the music he will perform with the Philharmonic this season. Philharmonic Vice President, Artistic Planning, Isaac Thompson will moderate.

The New York Philharmonic will offer an allotment of free tickets to young people ages 13–26 for the concert on Friday, December 7 as part of Philharmonic Free Fridays.

Artist-in-Residence Matthias Goerne will return for performances of Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem (February 2019) and John Adams’s The Wound-Dresser (March 2019), both led by Jaap van Zweden. He will also perform chamber music with pianist Daniil Trifonov and Philharmonic musicians at 92nd Street Y (March 2019). Matthias Goerne has appeared with the Philharmonic 13 times, beginning with his debut in 2006.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
