Listen Hear Salon Concerts is an interactive exhibition for music. Each program examines a specific way we hear expression and meaning. Imagine walking into a musician’s living room and witnessing music being written, or artists gathering to explore chamber music…all with food and drink!

Max Tan presents a concert previewing his Carnegie Hall recital debut on April 3, 2024. The program features Clara Schumann’s “Three Romances,” Thomas Ades’ “Märchentänze,” Igor Stravinsky’s “Divertimento,” Eugène Ysaÿe’s “Ballad” Sonata No. 3 for solo violin, and Richard Strauss’s Violin Sonata.

Curated by Max Tan, each salon-style event includes a Classical music program, insights from the artists, and conversation. The social atmosphere of these events redefines our modern concert culture. Inspired by Alex Ross’ book Listen to This, Soundbox events “approach music not as a self-sufficient sphere but as a way of knowing the world.”
