Isabelle Faust live in New York

Experience Isabelle Faust live on March 7th

Isabelle Faust will perform at Kaufmann Concert Hall in New York City on March 7, 2027. Faust is a German violinist known for her historically informed performances and insightful interpretations of both standard repertoire and lesser-known works. Her playing is characterized by clarity, precision, and a refined tone, often employing period instruments or setups to achieve a sound closer to the composer’s original intent. She frequently engages with contemporary composers, commissioning new pieces and expanding the violin repertoire.

Kaufmann Concert Hall, located within the 92nd Street Y, is a renowned chamber music venue with a significant history. Opened in 1932, it was designed by architects Shreve, Lamb & Harmon – also responsible for the Empire State Building – in an Art Deco style. The hall is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics, consistently ranked among the best in New York City for unamplified music. Its relatively intimate size – seating approximately 1,400 people – fosters a close connection between performers and audience. Throughout its history, Kaufmann Concert Hall has hosted performances by many of the world’s leading musicians and ensembles and remains a central hub for classical music in New York.
