From New York with Love: The New York Philharmonic
What does a night with the New York Philharmonic feel like? In this luminous TWoA City Letter, follow Olivia up Ninth Avenue into a transformed David Geffen Hall, where Gustavo Dudamel leads Varèse, Ravel, and Gershwin on a voyage that turns New York into something mythic. A love letter to the Philharmonic, to spring, and to the magic of hearing a city through its orchestra.
From Berlin with Love: The Philharmonie Berlin
Step into a rain-slick Berlin night and follow Christina Ezrahi into the glowing, golden shell of the Philharmonie, where pianist Mao Fujita turns a dark February evening into pure electricity. From the suspense of his first Chopin note to the thunder of Beethoven’s Appassionata, this City Letter captures Berlin’s eclectic audience, the hall’s legendary acoustics, and the quiet magic of a performer who’d rather play than bask in applause. A warm, luminous escape into one of Europe’s most unforgettable concert nights.
From the Bosphorus with Love: The Istanbul Museum of Modern Art
Istanbul’s position between Europe and Asia gives it a magic all its own—captured in our correspondent’s letter from the Bosphorus and in the breathtaking works of Chiharu Shiota and Olafur Eliasson, two artists who draw directly from the city’s unique geography and spirit.
