Link: Fall highlights in DC

By Anne Midgette

My thoughts on the upcoming fall season in classical music appear in the Fall Arts Preview in Sunday’s Washington Post. The down side (which I don’t mention in the piece) is a certain conservatism from Washington’s larger organizations; notable trends include both a continued growth in the realm of musical curation, and a notable number of leading contemporary composers

One highlight: Ivan Fischer’s Budapest Festival Orchestra finally makes it to DC, though not until after his stint as the NSO’s principal conductor is over. (If I were at the Kennedy Center, I would have made a point of presenting the two orchestras side by side.)
