I have always loved the opportunity to collaborate on The Music Critic with Aleksey Igudesman, Hyung-ki Joo, and many other gifted and thoughtful young classical musicians.

Why See John Malkovich in The Music Critic?

ClassicalStars on StageConcerts

A critical hit

Never one to shy away from the meta, John Malkovich once again gets deep into this highly intriguing new show. Written by musician Aleksey Igudesman, Malkovich is the titular 'Music Critic', a nebulous, evil character created of some of the most savage criticism of the past few hundred years. 

As he spews initial reactions to some of classical music's most iconic pieces, including reductive opinions of Schuman ('a composer'), Brahms ('a giftless bastard') and Debussy ('just ugly'), he is battled by his subjects of scorn, leading to a turning of tables worthy of even the most bombastic Beethoven finales.

Expect Malkovichian flights of imagination alongside performances of some of the greatest works in the classical canon as John Malkovich becomes The Music Critic.
