Mostly Mozart Festival 2008
UNITED STATES
NEW YORK • various venues • 29 July - 23 August 2008

Fortunately this New York festival takes place in the air-conditioned Avery Fisher Hall and Alice Tully Hall rather than out-of-doors in the often intolerable tropical humidity that is the defining feature of summer in New York. That said, the U.S. premiere of Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho's oratorio La Passion de Simone, Samoan-born theater-artist and choreographer Lemi Ponifasio’s Requiem, performances by conductors Lionel Bringuier and Edward Gardner, period instrument performances by Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Concerto Italiano, top drawer American artists such as the Emerson String Quartet, and pianist Garrick Ohlsson are among the highlights of this summer's festival.
