Carnegie Hall has announced its 2026–27 concert season, including performances by Caroline Shaw, who has been named Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair for the season, Jeremy Denk, Gabriel Kahane, Kronos Quartet, Punch Brothers, and Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, and works by Steve Reich, John Adams, David Longstreth, and others.

"Steve Reich was a very important part of my listening," Brian Eno tells the New York Times' Ezra Klein. "All of his work, I think, depends on making your brain perform and watch itself performing in a certain way. So I suddenly thought then, ‘Oh, the composer isn’t just Steve Reich. It’s Steve Reich and my brain that’s making this composition what it is.’ And that thought never left me, that you actually are engaging the technology of the listener’s brain to complete the piece. They’re not passive.” You can watch and hear their conversation here.
