Elliott Carter’s Admirers Resume Celebrations

You can never have too much Elliott Carter, and the Times reviews some recents performances.

The Elliott Carter centenary celebrations had a brief respite after Mr. Carter’s birthday in December, leaving a few weeks to commemorate the 200th anniversaries of Mendelssohn’s birth and Haydn’s death. But Mr. Carter’s admirers have gotten a second wind, and on Tuesday and Wednesday the 92nd Street Y brought that composer back into the spotlight by way of two concerts (three, if you count a preconcert recital on Wednesday).
