Two days before their performance at Carnegie Hall, revered American conductor Marin Alsop leads London’s Philharmonia Orchestra in a program of symphonic staples. The concert begins with Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, expressing an astonishing range of action and emotion across 20 minutes. Pianist Alexandre Kantorow, called an “exemplar of a new generation” after his 2023 Carnegie Hall debut (The New York Times), then performs the thrilling solo part in Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3. The program concludes with Bartók’s riveting Concerto for Orchestra, aptly named for the soloistic spotlight it shines on each section of the ensemble.

For The Bacon Brothers, music is all about exploration. Their sound highlights not only the similarities between Kevin Bacon (known worldwide as an A-list Hollywood actor) and Michael Bacon (celebrated as an Emmy-winning composer), but the differences, too. “We’re two musicians who write songs very differently, and we’ve grown to really appreciate those differences,” says Michael. The siblings have spent the better part of three decades creating their own mix of folk, rock, soul, and country music. They call that diverse sound “forosoco,” and it’s taken them around the world, from headlining gigs in Japan to American performances at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry and Gruene Hall. And back by popular demand, to Zoellner!
