Principal clarinetist Anthony McGill will be featured in Anthony Davis’s ‘You Have the Right to Remain Silent.’ … Music director Jaap van Zweden and the Philharmonic will … premiere … works … by … Joan Tower and Sarah Kirkland Snider…. The orchestra … and Lincoln Center decided to use the [pandemic] shutdown to accelerate the renovation of Geffen Hall, … set to reopen in the fall of 2022, a year and a half earlier than planned.”
