April 21, 2018 / World premieres from Timo Andres, Caroline Shaw, and a performance of Charpentier with Metropolis Ensemble and TENET early music ensemble.

Timo Andres’ piece, which features the cellist Inbal Segev performing with the Metropolis Ensemble, is based on John Vanderlyn’s “Panoramic View of the Palace and Gardens of Versailles” (1818-19), a massive painting on nearly 2,000 square feet of canvas that requires its own circular gallery in the Met’s American Wing. 

Inbal recommends the panoramic installation at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that inspired composer Timo Andres to write a new cello concerto.

The MetLiveArts concert “Time Travelers to Versailles” with Metropolis and TENET is a featured event for The New Yorker.
