Carnegie Hall unveiled details for its 2019–2020 season, which includes the Carnegie debut of stage favorite and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star Tituss Burgess and a series of Broadway-centric programs from the New York Pops.

The lineup of over 170 events begins with an October 3 gala featuring the Cleveland Orchestra, under the baton of Franz Welser-Möst, joined by violinist Anne Sophie Mutter, cellist Lynn Harrell, and pianist Yefim Bronfam. A significant portion of the programming throughout the season will celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birthday, including the composer’s Triple Concerto in C Major and Romance for Violin and Orchestra in G major during the gala.

Burgess will take the stage February 1, 2020, in Take Me to the World, an evening celebrating the music of Stephen Sondheim.
