Message from the Berlin Phil:

Sir Simon Rattle has unfortunately had to cancel his appearances conducting the 16-18 February concerts as he has to undergo a minor surgical procedure during that week.

The Berliner Philharmoniker are very grateful to Matthias Pintscher for taking over the concerts as part of the Biennale.

Programme:
Bernd Alois Zimmermann Musique pour les soupers du Roi Ubu
Bohuslav Martinů Rhapsody-Concerto for viola and orchestra
György Ligeti Requiem

    The article headline says he has undergone surgery. The article says he is to undergo it. Which is it?
