Poetic and Religious Harmonies, by Franz Liszt

Sept 24–27, 2019
500 25th St, Brooklyn, NY 11232, United States

Andrew Ousley is the creator and curator of two of New York’s most fascinating concert series: the Crypt Sessions and the Angel’s Share. Both take place underground, the former at Harlem’s Church of the Intercession, the latter in Brooklyn, in the catacombs of the Green-Wood Cemetery. In this program the pianists Adam Tendler and Jenny Lin take turns performing Franz Liszt’s ten-movement cycle—towering, personal, confessional, transcendent. Mirrors will be installed above the pianos so that the audience has a view from above—a celestial perch. Green-Wood only seats 100 and tickets ago fast. —L.J.
