After delivering two highly lauded performances at Carnegie Hall in May, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra returned to New York City on Sunday afternoon, taking the stage at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall to commence the 2013 Beijing Modern Music Festival.

After 25 years at the helm, John Daly Goodwin, Music Director of the New York Choral Society (NYCS), gave his final concert Friday night at Carnegie Hall. Titled ‘American Reflections’, all five works had an historical relationship with the New York Choral Society, three of which were commissioned and premiered by the NYCS: Paulus’ Whitman’s New York, De Cormier’s Legacy and Gould’s Quotations.
