Carnegie OSL October 23

Oct 16, 2013

Pablo Heras-Casado returns to New York’s Carnegie Hall to lead the Orchestra of St. Luke’s on October 23. The OSL Principal Conductor’s Carnegie Hall concert with the OSL last season prompted the New York Times to hail the Spanish maestro as “the thinking person’s idea of a hotshot young conductor.”

Pablo opens his October 23 program with the OSL conducting Mendelssohn’s Overture to A Midsummer’s Night Dream before being joined by tenor Ian Bostridge and horn player Stewart Rose for Britten’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn, and Strings. Pablo and the orchestra close the evening with Shostakovich’s mighty Ninth Symphony.

On Tuesday, October 22, the OSL invites listeners to enjoy live performances of excerpts from Shostakovich’s Ninth Symphony at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music. Pablo and OSL musicians will answer audience questions about the piece for this unique event. Seating is first-come, first-served. Reserve your space here.

Pablo’s return to Carnegie Hall with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s is part of a momentous autumn season in North America. Earlier this month, the Spanish conductor led a critically acclaimed, two-week Mendelssohn / Adès festival with the San Francisco Symphony. In November Pablo will make his debut at New York’s Metropolitan Opera, conducting Verdi’s Rigoletto.
