The 2011 Summer Tour brings about a renewed encounter with two distinguished artists of our time. Following the 2008 Summer Tour, Sir Colin Davis returns to the podium of the GUSTAV MAHLER JUGENDORCHESTER for the second time. At his side is Susan Graham, the American mezzo-soprano who is a regular and sought-after guest on all important stages of the world.
Stravinsky’s Symphony in Three Movements, Ravel: Shéhérazade and Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony will be heard at four concerts, starting with performances during the long-standing residency partnership at Bolzano, followed by the Semperoper at Dresden – as every year by invitation of the Staatskapelle Dresden – and finally at the BBC Proms in London.
