Plus, the clarinet concerto Zones of Blue by living Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth with triple-threat soloist Jörg Widmann, who has had a chance these past weeks to display his talents as composer, conductor, and clarinetist!

It is with deep sadness that we let you know of Michael Tilson Thomas’s passing on April 22, 2026. In 2021, Michael was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme, an aggressive type of brain cancer. Through his illness he continued to make music—a testament to his legacy as an artist and communicator. He was preceded in death by his husband Joshua Robison, and passed away at home surrounded by loved ones and family. Joshua and Michael are survived by their sisters, nieces and nephews. 💙
