DESCRIPTION:Mar 12-17\, 2026\nThe New York Philharmonic’s music and artis
 tic director designate Gustavo Dudamel returns with two programs imbued wi
 th the spirit of 1776. The first showcases Frederic Rzewski’s pianistic 
 tour de force The People United Will Never Be Defeated\, which premiered a
 t the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts amid celebrations of 
 America’s Bicentennial. From March 12 to 17\, it returns for the Semiqui
 ncentennial in freshly commissioned orchestral guise. Like J. S. Bach’s 
 30 Goldberg and Beethoven’s 33 Diabelli variations\, Rzewski’s 36 Peop
 le United permutations sweep a listener from delight in the composer’s s
 heer formal invention to spiritual revelation. But unlike Bach and Beethov
 en’s themes (that meditative original “aria” in Bach’s case\; a di
 ppy waltz by the Viennese publisher Anton Diabelli in Beethoven’s)\, Rze
 wski’s isn’t “just music.” It’s a Chilean protest anthem whose p
 ounding rhythm and blunt lyric (just a slogan\, really) bristle with right
 eous Leftist defiance that never completely disappears. The New York Phil
 ’s symphonic metamorphosis honors Rzewski’s ethos of solidarity in tha
 t it’s the handiwork of a whole rainbow coalition. A partial list includ
 es Kati Agócs\, Anthony Cheung\, Tania León\, Maria Schneider\, Nina She
 khar\, Roberto Sierra\, Conrad Tao\, Jerod Impichcha̱achaaha’ Tate\, Wa
 ng Lu\, and Nina C. Young. E pluribus unum.
