John Malkovich in The Music Critic

About This Concert

In this unique theatrical production blending classical music with comedy, legendary actor John Malkovich steps into the role of the “evil music critic,” who believes the music of Beethoven, Chopin, and the like to be weary and dreary. As Malkovich delivers hilariously scathing real reviews with his trademark deadpan humor, Aleksey Igudesman, Hyung-ki Joo, and other world-renowned musicians fight back with live performances of well-known works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and more. It’s musician vs. critic as live theater, classical music, and comedy collide!

Written and conceived by Aleksey Igudesman
