Program

Maestro Maazel and the New York Philharmonic embark on a
9-city, 14-concert tour of Europe, in celebration of Lorin Maazel’s
valedictory season as Music Director. The Philharmonic will perform
concerts in London at the BBC Proms, at the Rheingau Music Festival in
Frankfurt, in Hamburg as part of the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival,
and at the Lucerne Festival; in concerts in Essen, Paris, Stuttgart, and
Baden-Baden; and at the Beethovenfest in Bonn. The first concert of the
tour, in London, features the world premiere of Steven Stucky’s Rhapsodies
for Orchestra, a commission by the New York Philharmonic and the BBC
Proms. Lorin Maazel will lead the Orchestra in subsequent performances of
this work in concerts in Lucerne and Paris. The tour repertoire will also
include works by Bartók, Bruckner, Gershwin, Mendelssohn, Ravel,
Stravinsky, and Tchaikovsky; with Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet as Soloist
for Gershwin’s Concerto in F.
