Osmo Vänskä Conducting Farewell Concerts with Minnesota Orchestra Musicians
Lang Lang, Hans Zimmer, Pavarotti Win Big at Classic Brit Awards 2013 [FULL LIST]
They might have been on strike at Carnegie Hall, but across the pond in Blightly, the Classic Brit Awards still steamrolled ahead. A massive production--filmed for mainstream, primetime TV (the ITV1 channel)--it was a cast of dozens and a healthy clutch of big stars. 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.
