Louis Langrée to Replace Gianandrea Noseda in Mostly Mozart Festival Concerts

Lincoln Center announced today that conductor Louis Langrée, the Renée and Robert Belfer Music Director of the Mostly Mozart Festival, will graciously replace Gianandrea Noseda leading the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra on August 4 and 5. Maestro Noseda is regrettably unable to conduct as he recovers from back surgery.

Maestro Langrée will lead an all-Beethoven program, which now includes the Egmont Overture and his Symphony No. 7. The young Italian pianist Beatrice Rana, who will make her New York debut on August 4, will perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the orchestra as previously planned.
