TŌN's Conductor Zachary Schwartzman Will Return to Symphony Space with Stravinsky and More in February

Following last January's sold-out concert, TŌN's resident conductor Zachary Schwartzman returns to Symphony Space with more audience favorites by Ravel, Debussy, Messiaen, and Stravinsky on February 16. The Orchestra's outstanding and enthusiastic young artists will highlight this free performance with brief remarks about each of the works.

On February 23, TŌN will give the final installment this season of its top-selling Sight & Sound series at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Haydn's The Clock: The Intersection of Art & Technology. The program will explore how musicians, like their contemporaries in art and science, were mesmerized by advancements and pseudo-advancements in science and technology during the second half of the 18th century. While Mozart poked fun at this fascination in Così fan tutte, Haydn drew inspiration from the advances in horology in Vienna and London.

Each presentation in the Sight & Sound series offers a discussion accompanied by musical excerpts performed by The Orchestra Now along with on-screen artworks, followed by a full performance and audience Q&A with conductor Leon Botstein.
