The conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, battling brain cancer, has the opportunity this week to add another major orchestra to his lengthy portfolio.

MTT is conducting the Czech Philharmonic for the first time, and they seem delighted.

The programme is Schubert’s C major symphony and Copland’s Appalachian Spring.

    That would have been cool to see. I wish he’d done the program he did in DC with the NSO lately, though (including Carl Ruggles’ “Angels.”).

  • Frederick Paul Walter says:

    Kudos to MTT. Keep on keeping on!

  • Gaylen says:

    A conductor conducts an orchestra. Why is this news?

    • Willem Philips says:

      Debut last with a new orchestra (to you) are often joyous and socially important events. Gratuitous comment.
