Wallach Artist-in-Residence at the New York Philharmonic, will join the Orchestra, led by Music Director Alan Gilbert, The Yoko Nagae Ceschina Chair, for three concerts featuring the World Premiere of Sebastian Currier's Time Machines and Beethoven's Romance No. 2 for Violin and Orchestra, Thursday, June 2, 2011, at 7:30 p.m., Friday, June 3, at 2:00 p.m., and Saturday, June 4, at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Gilbert will conclude the program with Bruckner's Symphony No. 2.
This is the final orchestral program of Ms. Mutter's New York Philharmonic residency. Her last appearance of the season, on June 5, 2011, will be a recital of works by Debussy, Mendelssohn, Brahms, and Sarasate with pianist Lambert Orkis. Ms. Mutter began her residency on November 14, 2010, with an all-Beethoven chamber program; by the end of the season she will have performed two chamber concerts, three orchestral programs, and one recital, most coupling established repertoire with newer works. -I feel greatly privileged to have the opportunity to present such varied works for violin and orchestra in New York,? she has said.Videos
