NEW YORK (AP) — Carnegie Hall has changed the program for its return from the coronavirus shutdown and added a Beethoven cycle to the season with the Philadelphia Orchestra and music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Opening night, on October 6, will be the first performance at the hall since closing on March 13, 2020. Pianist Yuja Wang will perform Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in place of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2. The program also includes Valerie Coleman‘s Seven O’Clock Shout, commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra to honor frontline workers and celebrate human connection; Iman Habibi’s Jeder Baum spricht on climate crisis; and Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.
