Fun Facts
The New York Times calls Josefowicz ?one of classical music?s great champions of the new.?
Josefowicz?s powerful talents inspired contemporary composer John Adams to write Scheherazade.2, a dramatic symphonic portrait of a woman confronting oppression, which Josefowicz played in her most recent appearance with the Minnesota Orchestra in 2016.
Juraj Valuha is the conductor of the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, Italy, and the principal guest conductor of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin.
Valuha returns to conduct the Orchestra in a performance of Strauss? evocative Alpine Symphony, which takes listeners on a day trip through the majestic Bavarian Alps.
