Michael Christie to conduct the New York Philharmonic
Due to illness, Riccardo Muti had to cancel his engagement conducting the New York Philharmonic this weekend. The Phoenix Symphony’s own Michael Christie will step in
making his debut with America’s oldest professional orchestra. With Pinchas Zukerman performing Elgar’s Violin Concerto as well as Copland’s Symphony No. 3 on the program, it will certainly be an exciting weekend! The Big Apple is already starting to buzz about the debut with articles appearing today in the NY Times as well as the NY Sun.
The concerts themselves (held March 27 - 29) are all but sold out, but if you’re the classical-music-loving, jet-setting type looking for a quick weekend get-away, you might still be able to grab a pair of seats online at NYphil.org.
UPDATE: Check out the comments section of this post to read some daily accounts from Michael Christie about his rehearsal process this week with Pinchas Zukerman and the NY Philharmonic.
