JoAnn
Falletta
August
7, 2008
Hailed by The
New York Times as “…one of the finest conductors of
her generation,” JoAnn Falletta currently holds the positions
of Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the
Virginia Symphony Orchestra and Artistic Advisor to the Honolulu
Symphony. An effervescent and exuberant figure on the podium,
she has been praised by the Washington Post as having “Toscanini’s
tight control over ensemble, Walter’s affectionate balancing
of inner voices, Stokowski’s gutsy showmanship, and a controlled
frenzy worthy of Bernstein.”
Ms. Falletta
has been invited to guest conduct many of... more the world’s
finest symphony orchestras. Highlights of her guest conducting
appearances this season include her debut with the Royal Liverpool
Philharmonic, featuring a world premiere of Talbot’s Trumpet
Concerto with Alison Balsom. Falletta is also making her first
appearance with the Lisbon Metropolitan Orchestra, Sinfonieorchester
Wuppertal in Germany, the Rotterdam Philharmonic, the National
Orchestra of Belgium and the Shanghai Philharmonic. This summer,
she made acclaimed debuts with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony
and the Jerusalem Symphony. In the 2007/08 season, she is scheduled
to make debuts with the BBC Philharmonic of Manchester Orchestra,
the Dallas Symphony, the Orchestre National De Lyon, the Northwest
German Philharmonic and the Orchestra of Asturias (Spain). |
