Alan Gilbert Leads COSI FAN TUTTE at Julliard School, Now thru 11/19

The upcoming production of Così marks the conductor's first appearances since his return from Europe, where he recently made his long-awaited Berlin Staatskapelle debut with performances of Beethoven and Bartók, and gave renditions of Stravinsky and Hindemith at Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw that the Classical Source deemed "absolutely glorious."

Later this month, Gilbert rejoins the New York Philharmonic to direct Musical America's Instrumentalist of the Year Gil Shaham in Barber's Violin Concerto, on a program with the New York premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winner Steven Stucky's Symphony (2012) – a Philharmonic co-commission – of which the Los Angeles Times declared: "No note felt wasted. To hear Stucky's Symphony once was to want to hear it again."

A detailed list of the conductor's upcoming fall engagements follows, and additional information may be found at his website at www.alangilbert.com.
