Ensemble Connect

About

Known for “fresh, exciting performances charged with creativity, energy, and daring” \(New York Classical Review\), Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect opens its 2026–2027 season with a characteristically adventurous program. Discover works by some of the chamber repertoire’s most distinctive composers. In addition to notable but underperformed works by Ligeti, Loeffler, and Kodály, the ensemble performs a favorite: Bartók’s Contrasts, a piece created in response to requests by jazz great Benny Goodman and Hungarian violinist Joseph Szigeti.
