Carnegie Hall Strike Ends as Stagehands Accept Labor Deal
Osmo Vänskä Conducting Farewell Concerts with Minnesota Orchestra Musicians
Although he resigned as music director on October 1, Osmo Vänskä will lead the musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra one more time (in two concerts) scheduled for this Friday and Saturday. 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.
