Much less new music on the schedule this year; the focus is a celebration of Esa-Pekka Salonen in his final season as music director, with many of his favorite composers and performers on the schedule. There are a few new-ish works, though no premieres: Saariaho's oratorio La Passion de Simone is being programmed again, after having been postponed for two years now; there will be a new work from Salonen in April; Thomas Ades will be conducting some of his own music; and the Labeque sisters will be performing a Double Piano Concerto by Andriessen.
As always, the music that I most want to hear is never on the same series, and there will be a fair amount of ticket-swapping to do, but this, I think, is the season I'll wind up with:
- Stravinsky: Fireworks; Tchakovsky: Piano Concerto #1 (Yefim Bronfman); Stravinsky: The Firebird (Esa-Pekka Salonen)
- Copland: Appalachian Spring; Britten: Violin Concerto (Midori); Revueltas: La Noche de los Mayas (Miguel Harth-Bedoya)
- Turina: La oración del torero; Respighi: The Pines of Rome and The Fountains of Rome (Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos)
- Brahms: "Tragic" Overture, Violin Concerto (Nikolaj Znaider), and Symphony #1 (Marin Alsop)
- Janáček: Sinfonietta; Andriessen: Double Piano Concerto (Katia & Marielle Labeque); Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring (Esa-Pekka Salonen)
- Stravinsky: "Dumbarton Oaks" Concerto; Khachaturian: Violin Concerto (Gil Shaham); Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances (Stéphane Denève)
- Stucky: Son et lumière; Schuman: Symphony #3; Glazunov: Violin Concerto (Hilary Hahn); Tchaikovsky: Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture (Leonard Slatkin)
- Shostakovich: Violin Concerto #1 (Julia Fischer); Prokofiev: Symphony #5 (Christoph Eschenbach)
