Zukerman, who is winning over audiences in Ottawa as music director of the National Arts Centre Orchestra, returns to the concert stage on both violin and viola. Bronfman was a Carnegie Hall Perspectives artist in 2007–2008, and gave a mammoth recital program here last April. They now come together for audience-pleasing favorites.

Whenever Denk steps onstage, plaudits inevitably follow. Critics nationwide have praised “the chops, the brains, and the heart” (The New Yorker) that are hallmarks of his go-for-broke style, and his February Zankel Hall recital left “audience members gasping for superlatives” (The New York Times). Now, he’s back at Carnegie Hall—this time in the inestimable Stern/Perelman. Find out what has everyone buzzing.

Jeremy Denk has graciously agreed to replace Maurizio Pollini, who unfortunately must cancel his appearance due to illness.

Forget everything you think you know about the viola. In Bashmet’s hands, it is a powerful solo instrument, one that is perfectly suited to “the communication of Byronic emotional drama” (BBC Music Magazine). He could have no better partner than his Russian compatriot Kissin.
