And then for SSV, you've got a gig as early as August 24 playing Bernstein, Mendelssohn, Bizet (Carmen*, in fact - while my sources have no more detail than the name of the opera I hardly think you'll be doing the entire thing at a free concert, so probably overture or similar) and Beethoven's 5th. Otherwise, I'm seeing Schubert, Barber (well, ok, that's a string-only thing, but you get to listen :), Brahms, Prokofiev. Schumann, Shostakovich, Beethoven (1st, 4th), Respighi, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Hayden... Why is it there are so many more violin and piano concertos performed than wind/brass concertos? Not that I'm chucking asparagus, er, that is, casting aspersions at the soloists for the coming season - I have only respect for them. Anyhow, feel free to compare it with what I've got lined up for the next year...:) *no spitting on floor please, thanks Hmmm…according to my sources, you’ll be doing Eugene Onegin, The Elixir of Love, Cosi Fan Tutte and Carmen* starting in September and going through April.
