Daily Schedule

This year, the New York Phil has launched a series of commissions and premieres called CONTACT! Their first concert, which we talked about here was a lovely event, and we are pumped to webcast the most recent show from this series on Thursday and Saturday.

The New York Philharmonic’s new music series CONTACT! returns to Q2 with Music Director Alan Gilbert conducting the second concert of its inaugural season. Listen in for world premieres of works by Nico Muhly, Matthias Pintscher, and Sean Shepherd.

Say hello to Hammered!, Q2's hour-long, weekday program devoted the extraordinary breadth and ever-evolving repertoire of music for keyboard. From concert grand to disklavier, synthesizer to clavichord, prepared piano to toy piano, Hammered! shares musical colors from ebony to ivory and every shade in between.

Throw a dart in New York City and you'll hit an adventurous, talented, experimental, and virtuosic pianist. Q2 will provide a happy home for makers and admirers of kaleidoscopic keyboard music of today, including both fresh, newly minted interpretations and revolutionary departures from tradition.

We welcome your insights into overlooked pianists and composers and suggestions for any and all keyboard discoveries you'd like to share with your fellow listener.
