Ensemble Connect with Simon Rattle

The British conductor, very much in town conducting “Tristan” at the Met, is also branching out for other concerts. He conducts Carnegie Hall’s superb Ensemble Connect (the pre-professional group formerly called Ensemble ACJW) in a novelty that extends our current love affair with Schubert: “Schubert’s ‘Winterreise’—A Composed Interpretation,” by the composer and conductor Hans Zender, which recasts the work’s piano part for a small orchestra. The singer is another British star, Mark Padmore. (Zankel Hall; Zankel Hall. 212-247-7800. Oct. 16 at 3.)
