This year Carnegie Hall Live marks its 10th anniversary, and we're celebrating with a look back at favorite performances from the past decade. This specially curated 13-part series, hosted by Jeff Spurgeon, features recordings of some of classical music's most esteemed artists in an array of styles and repertoire, all captured live at New York City's world-famous concert hall.
Here’s what’s coming up in the WQXR-produced series, which airs from 7 to 9 p.m. central each Thursday through Aug. 26.
July 15: Jordi Savall
The Millenarian Venice: Gateway to the East
For 1,000 years, Venice was a world capital of trade and culture. Jordi Savall and his international band of ancient instrument performers trace the melodies from across the Mediterranean to Persia, the Ottoman empire; and from Rome to France to 11th-century Greece — all through music that moved through Venice.
