Carnegie Hall's Ensemble Connect is an evolving group of exceptional young professional musicians, called “the new face of classical music for New York” by The New York Times. With virtuosity, versatility, and an irrepressible sense of adventure, they perform a vast repertoire that ranges from historic essentials to lesser-known pieces and brand-new commissions.
Their 2025-2026 season kicks off at the Arthur Zankel Music Center with music by the singular Arvo Pärt, joining in the worldwide celebration of the composer’s 90th year.
