From his web page at Boosey & Hawkes:

Elliott Carter’s final world premiere will take place at Carnegie Hall during the 2014–15 season; the work, The American Sublime, will be performed by the MET Chamber Ensemble under the baton of James Levine.

 It is on a great program that the man himself would have liked a lot:

• STRAVINSKY Octet
• IVES From the Steeples and the Mountains
• IVES Scherzo: Over the Pavements
• CARTER The American Sublime (Word Premiere)
• CAGE Atlas Eclipticalis 
• CHARLES WUORINEN It Happens Like This

The MET Chamber Ensemble
James Levine, Artistic Director and Conductor
Evan Hughes, Bass-Baritone

I'm so happy that there's more Carter to come, and a little sad that a great compositional run will finally be over.
