We look forward to your company this Sunday at 1 pm for an archival broadcast concert from November of 2011, when then-Music Director Designate Yannick Nézet-Séguin stepped forward to increase his time with The Philadelphia Orchestra and its audiences, and directed an impressive Italian-themed program, featuring Tchaikovsky's Francesca da Rimini, Mendelssohn's 4th Symphony, Verdi's Overture to La Forza del Destino and Respighi's Pines of Rome!
At Intermission, we'll hear Meridee Duddleston's feature on harpist Edna Phillips, and then Susan Lewis' interviews with the Orchestra's current Principal Harp Elizabeth Hainen and Associate Principal Clarinet Sam Caviezel, who has some interesting things to say about Verdi's Forza Overture.
