More Tanglewood Withdrawals This Weekend
Programs Continued as Scheduled with Substitutes
By: BSO - Jul 23, 2013
In addition to the unfortunate cancellation yesterday of Andris Nelsons’ appearance with the BSO on July 27 (details available here), two other artists scheduled for this weekend have been forced to withdraw from programs due to illness. Conductor/pianist Christoph Eschenbach (scheduled to perform on Friday, July 26 and Sunday, July 28) has an inner ear infection and currently cannot travel by plane; and bass Ferruccio Furlanetto (scheduled to perform on Saturday, July 27) has a bad cold and is not able to sing the bass-baritone role in this week’s performance of Verdi’s Requiem.
As a result of these cancellations, the following artists have graciously agreed to participate in this weekend’s programs:
Edo de Waart will replace Mr. Eschenbach at the podium on Friday, July 26. Garrick Ohlssonwill replace Mr. Eschenbach as piano soloist, performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat, K.595 in place of the originally scheduled Piano Concerto No. 12 in A, K.414. The rest of the program remains unchanged.
Conductor Carlo Montanaro will step in for Andris Nelsons for the performance of the Verdi Requiem on Saturday, July 27. Bass-baritone Eric Owenswill replace Mr. Furlanetto.
On Sunday, July 28, conductor Ludovic Morlot will replace Mr. Eschenbach to lead the BSO in the originally scheduled program featuring pianist Garrick Ohlsson.
