New York Philharmonic Cancels Rehearsals, Alters Programs Due to Weather Conditions

Due to predicted extreme weather conditions and travel disruptions, the New York Philharmonic has had to cancel two rehearsals for the program of Wednesday, January 28, 2015, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, January 29 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, January 30 at 11:00 a.m.; and Saturday, January 31 at 8:00 p.m., to be conducted by David Robertson. This has necessitated some changes in repertoire. Also due to the changes in rehearsal schedule, the Open Rehearsal scheduled for Wednesday, January 28 at 9:45 a.m. has been cancelled.

The new program will include Stravinsky's Firebird Suite (1919) (replacing the previously scheduled Song of The Nightingale). The rest of the program remains as scheduled: Rachmaninoff's Vocalise; Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2, with Emanuel Ax as soloist; and Barto?k's The Miraculous Mandarin Suite.
