Beethoven’s Creatures of Prometheus with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra and the wonderful Kukai Dantza Konpainia

Yesterday the Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra kicked off our Pamplona season in the beautiful Plaza del Castillo. Very grateful for the perfect weather — after two previous attempts at outdoor concerts with me had been rained out! So fun to perform in Pamplona’s shared “living room” with this great orchestra just as Pablo Sarasate did almost 150 years ago.

Kicking it all off with a fantastic piece by Courtney Bryan sung by Eric Greene!!

At the New Haven Symphony we are looking for an energetic, creative, passionate young conductor to join us as a Harmony Conducting Fellow for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons.
The Fellow will have the chance to work closely with Alasdair Neale in his final season as Music Director and with me in my first season, and with our Principal Pops Conductor, Chelsea Tipton.
Details at the link below, and feel free to reach out if you or anyone you know might be interested in applying!

Harmony Fellowships The NHSO’s Harmony Fellowships provide opportunities across the musical, administrative, and board levels for traditionally underrepresented groups in the classical music industry.

I’m thrilled to share this news. New Haven is a beautiful city that I already think of as home, with a tremendous group of the most versatile and thoughtful musicians, and a wonderful, forward-looking musical community at the Symphony. Can’t wait to get started!

We are pleased to announce that Perry So has been appointed as our next Music Director. He will begin his tenure in June 2024. The announcement was made this morning at a press conference held at the Stetson Branch of the New Haven Free Public Library.

Maestro So says, “I am deeply honored to be entrusted with the artistic leadership of the New Haven Symphony — the first US professional orchestra I heard when I arrived in this country when I was 18, in the city that my wife and I love and called home for a decade. When I came back this March to work with the orchestra, I encountered an artistically adventurous group of musicians motivated by a profound love for music and dedicated to serving the community. The commitment at every level of the organization to telling a fuller story of our unique American musical heritage than ever before — and doing so in a way that gives voice to those great talents who have been unjustly excluded — gives me great excitement for what we will be able to accomplish together in the years ahead. I look forward to conversations with all of our partners in the weeks and months ahead to learn how we can best serve the New Haven community together. Most of all, I look forward to the many moments of musical joy that we will share in the years to come.”

Here it is: dress rehearsal of the concert I have been looking forward to most all year. Schumann’s surpassingly beautiful oratorio Das Paradies und die Peri, with an excellent cast, the wonderful Orfeón Pamplonesa and my dear Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra.
