Listen Hear: Max Tan and Marisa Gupta: Carnegie Hall Recital Preview

Listen Hear Salon Concerts is an interactive exhibition for music. Each program examines a specific way we hear expression and meaning. Imagine walking into a musician’s living room and witnessing music being written, or artists gathering to explore chamber music…all with food and drink!

Max Tan presents a concert previewing his Carnegie Hall recital debut on April 3, 2024. The program features Clara Schumann’s “Three Romances,” Thomas Ades’ “Märchentänze,” Igor Stravinsky’s “Divertimento,” Eugène Ysaÿe’s “Ballad” Sonata No. 3 for solo violin, and Richard Strauss’s Violin Sonata.

Curated by Max Tan, each salon-style event includes a Classical music program, insights from the artists, and conversation. The social atmosphere of these events redefines our modern concert culture. Inspired by Alex Ross’ book Listen to This, Soundbox events “approach music not as a self-sufficient sphere but as a way of knowing the world.”

Listen Hear: Ned Rorem’s Centenary: Celebrating His Life in Music and Words

Listen Hear Salon Concerts is an interactive exhibition for music. Each program examines a specific way we hear expression and meaning. Imagine walking into a musician’s living room and witnessing music being written, or artists gathering to explore chamber music…all with food and drink!

Curated by pianist Marisa Gupta and baritone Tom Meglioranza, this program honoring the centenary of the late American composer Ned Rorem centers on his masterpiece “Aftermath,” written in the wake of 9/11. Through 10 heart-wrenching songs for baritone and piano trio, Rorem’s “Aftermath” focuses on the universal experience of grief and loss and invites us to contemplate what it means to be human and at peace.

Curated by Max Tan, each salon-style event includes a Classical music program, insights from the artists, and conversation. The social atmosphere of these events redefines our modern concert culture.
