Ellen Reid, whose arresting opera “p r i s m” won a Pulitzer in 2019, joins the New York Philharmonic for the
première of “When the World as You’ve Known It Doesn’t Exist,” Feb. 20-22, at David Geffen Hall. Reid
wrote the piece for “Project 19,” a multiyear series honoring the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment,
for which the Philharmonic has commissioned works from nineteen distinguished women composers. The
initiative also presents Tania León’s “Stride,” nestled among warhorses by Brahms and Strauss, Feb. 13-18.
