Daniele Gatti cancels, Maazel in
Conductor Daniele Gatti has canceled all of his performance engagements for the next couple of months on his “medical staff’s” orders. He has tendinopathy (acute inflammation of the tendon) in both shoulders. Gatti was due to lead the Vienna Philharmonic in parts of its U.S. tour, including a stop here in Orange County on March 3.
Lorin Maazel will appear in Gatti’s stead behind the Orange Curtain. The program remains the same: Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony and Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, with soprano Juliane Banse.
Los Angeles Philharmonic announces 2014-15 season
The L.A. Philharmonic’s season announcement landed in my in-box yesterday without warning. As a working journalist, I always prefer to get a heads up on these kinds of things, so I can budget the story — i.e. find space for it in the newspaper — and carve out some time to write it. For now, here’s a link to the pdf of the main press release.
