“At a press conference Monday at
Symphony Center, Muti announced the 2012-13 season, his third here,
of his Chicago Symphony Orchestra and its ancillary presenting arms
for chamber music, jazz and touring ensembles.”
“Four
young conductors will debut, highlighted by Chicago Sinfonietta music
director and rising force Taiwan-born Mei-Ann Chen in May in a
program which also holds one of the most intriguing premieres of the
season, the “Mississipi River Suite” by the late African-American
Chicago composer Florence Price.
“Andrew Patner is
critic at large for WFMT-FM (98.7).”

Thanks so much, Bill. I am so excited
about the Price! I was just talking with friends and family last week
about "When will they start to give her some of her due?!"
More coverage -- watch this space! ;-)
