TRANSFORMATIONS

“Refreshing in the extreme” (The New York Times) and comprising “some of the brightest young classical musicians in the world” (TimeOut New York), Decoda is Carnegie Hall’s first-ever affiliate ensemble. Made up of alums of Ensemble Connect, Decoda carries forward a dedication to virtuosic performance, audience and community engagement, and a constantly growing repertoire of new music and beloved classics. The spectacularly versatile ensemble offers another distinctive program for its 2022–2023 Carnegie Hall performance. Hear a world premiere by Joseph Jones; John Coltrane’s “Naima,” arranged by Decoda founding member and former artistic director Brad Balliett; selections from Corea’s Children’s Songs, arranged by Decoda; Catherine Gregory’s arrangement of Stravinsky’s Suite italienne; and a new work by Sarah Kirkland Snider.
