SLSO at Carnegie - next year
Post-Dispatch Classical Music
The dates haven’t been released yet, but the 2008-09 Carnegie Hall programs for David Robertson and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra have been. Extracted from the news release from Carnegie Hall:
‘…David Robertson leads the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra in two programs, including the New York premiere of Kaija Saariaho’s Mirage with soprano Karita Mattila and cellist Anssi Karttunen in Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage, and, in Zankel Hall, HK Gruber’s Frankenstein!! and Stravinsky’s Histoire du soldat. …’
The next question is, “Will Mattila perform with the SLSO here in St. Louis as well as in New York?”
The dates for the SLSO @ Carnegie in 2009 are actually up, just carefully hidden. The overall schedule is at:
