The centerpiece of Carnegie Hall’s 2023–2024 season is a powerful exploration of one of the most complex and consequential chapters in modern human history: ...

Franz Welser-Möst leads The Cleveland Orchestra in a captivating Sunday matinee performance, featured as part of Carnegie Hall’s Fall of the Weimar Republic: Dancing on the Precipice festival. Prokofiev’s Second Symphony was his work of “iron and steel,” and it suggests the wonderment, scope, and brutal machinery of 1920s technological advancements. It is carefully paired with Webern’s miniature Symphony, Op. 21, a sparse and exacting piece in which “every note has so much meaning and is completely indispensable,” according to Welser-Möst. The concert concludes with Prokofiev’s Fifth, an enduring symphonic favorite that was written during the summer of 1944.
