Experience Carnegie Hall’s affiliate ensemble, Decoda, comprising “some of the brightest young classical musicians in the world” (Time Out New York), many who are alums of the adventurous Ensemble Connect. With seemingly limitless versatility, virtuosity, and curiosity, they offer exciting artistic discoveries with each new performance. Tonight, enjoy a wide-ranging program that includes works by Caroline Shaw, holder of Carnegie Hall’s 2026–2027 Debs Composer’s Chair; a New York premiere by Viet Cuong; an original arrangement of Björk’s “The Anchor Song”; and Britten’s Young Apollo. Plus, hear powerful soprano Ariadne Greif as soloist in Berio’s Folk Songs and Decoda’s own “re-imagining” of Gustav Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer.
