CARNEGIE HALL: Baroque to Rock, October 22
Baroque to Rock is a musical experience featuring internationally acclaimed musicians Christie Julien and Alexander Markov that takes you on a journey through the centuries. This innovative collaboration transcends genres, seamlessly weaving together the timeless elegance of baroque, classical, and romantic masterpieces with the raw energy of rock music.
Transporting the audience from the refined courts of Europe to the electrifying stages of contemporary rock, each piece has been meticulously selected to showcase the versatility and brilliance of its stars, inviting listeners to rediscover familiar melodies in a fresh, exhilarating light. The program blends iconic works of classical masters – including Vivaldi, Gluck, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, and Prokofiev – with the nostalgia and showmanship of rock music. The concert culminates with original rock compositions by Markov himself performed on a one-of-a-kind gold-plated, electric violin and accompanied by chamber orchestra and youth chorus.
This unique fusion of musical styles and sensibilities is sure to be unlike any other concert experience you’ve had before. Join us this October for the world premiere of a musical voyage like no other where past meets present, and the magic of music knows no bounds. Expect the unexpected!
