Concerts

2025–26 Season Highlights

Now in its sixteenth season, NYCP presents a bold collection of concerts that traverse themes of freedom, virtuosity, and musical storytelling. This year’s programs feature the passion and poignancy of Wagner, the elegance of Tchaikovsky, and the architectural drama of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. We also spotlight new voices with commissioned works by Texu Kim, Andrew Hsu, and Seth Grosshandler, building on NYCP’s commitment to living composers. From epic masterworks to intimate discoveries, this season invites audiences into a dynamic musical journey.
