Louis Langrée Conducts Beethoven
Part of: Orchestra of St. Luke's
Witness the Carnegie Hall debut of Louis Langreé—a conductor especially beloved in New York for his 21-year tenure as music director of Mostly Mozart—as he leads one of the city’s great ensembles: Orchestra of St. Luke’s. The concert opens with Valerie Coleman’s Fanfare for Uncommon Times, a piece commissioned and premiered by the ensemble in 2021. Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 2 in D Major follows, shining a welcome spotlight on Sterling Elliott. A former OSL member, Elliott is now a prominent, award-winning soloist, and this performance marks his debut as a soloist with the ensemble. The concert concludes on a timeless high note with Beethoven’s lively Seventh Symphony.
