Michael Tilson Thomas bounces back from brain surgery

Message from MTT on his website:

On November 4, 5, and 7, MTT conducts the New York Philharmonic in his first appearance since undergoing surgery in July 2021. Tilson Thomas, who returns to the Orchestra after ten years, said:

“Through these past difficult months, my love and appreciation of music has remained undiminished. The thought of sharing it with New York audiences gives me great joy.”

The program features Berg’s Violin Concerto, with soloist and longtime collaborator Gil Shaham. Other highlights include Beethoven’s Eroica and Crawford Seeger’s Andante for Strings. Performances take place in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center.

That’s the best news of the day.
