JEGardiner receives call to Milan
OrchestrasWe hear that Sir John Eliot Gardiner has been summoned by the Orchestra Mozart to stand in for Daniele Gatti, who has fallen sick.
He will conduct Beethoven’s 8th and 9th symphonies on Thursday in Ferrara, Friday in Bologna and Saturday in Milan.
The change has yet to be posted on the orchestra’s sites.
The orchestra, founded in 2004 by Claudio Abbado, brings together established principals with very young players.
The approach to JEG was apparently initiated by the current OM timpanist, an English Baroque Soloists principal.
