Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Conrad Tao

Conductor Jane Glover capitalized on The Cleveland Orchestra’s affinity for Mozart in a Sunday evening concert at the Blossom Music Center, with the versatile pianist Conrad Tao.

The pianist artfully puts together a program of great feeling with no overt thematic thread but a strong emotional one.

When it was announced from the stage that Gustavo Dudamel would not be conducting due to a "family emergency," the orchestra played for Conducting Fellow Stephen Mulligan as if he were a maestro.

David Lang’s new opera the loser opened the Next Wave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Wednesday night, but simply lacked theatricality.

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra offered a rich performance of works by Holst, Shostakovich, Grieg and Marquez. Conductor Robert Moody brought out the lyrical side of the orchestra, even if its members were nearly over-shadowed by an over-enthusiastic soloist.

Was für ein furioser Einstieg: Matthias Pintscher, der frischgebackene Chefdirigent des Kansas City Symphony entführt sein Orchester direkt am Anfang seiner ersten Spielzeit über den großen Teich zu einer Europatournee.
