This month Thomas Adès visits New York for a special series of concerts in which he performs and conducts his own works and a host of others at Carnegie Hall. The performances kick off with the US premiere of Adès’ Lieux retrouvés, commissioned by Carnegie Hall, the Aldeburgh Festival, and Wigmore Hall, on March 19th.
