Carnegie Hall
Osmo Vänskä Conducting Farewell Concerts with Minnesota Orchestra Musicians
UPDATE: Leon Botstein's American Symphony Orchestra Concert at Carnegie Hall, "New York Avant-Garde," Will Go On!
UPDATE: A source has confirmed that this American Symphony Orchestra concert will go ahead at Carnegie Hall tonight. There had been fears that it, like the Philadelphia Orchestra concert last night, would be canceled. This, then, makes the ASO concert also the Carnegie season-opener. Again, the theme of the evening is the manner in which the legendary 1913 Armory Show influenced the modernist composers of the 1920s. Carnegie Hall Stagehand Strike Forces Cancellation of Opening Night Gala
Hours before Carnegie Hall's opening night gala was scheduled to begin, Carnegie Hall stagehands went on strike--forcing the venue's management to cancel the event. The centerpiece of the evening was to have been a Philadelphia Orchestra concert led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
