The Houston Symphony Presents Irish Conductor COURTNEY LEWIS to Replace Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos

On the heels of a cancelled appearance with the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO), 80-year old, Spanish-born conductor Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos has withdrawn from performances with the Houston Symphony scheduled for March 21, 22 and 23. Ailing from pneumonia-like symptoms that caused him to swoon on the podium during Friday's concert with the NSO, Fruhbeck is convalescing under a doctor's care. In his place and with the luck of the Irish upon them, the Houston Symphony has signed Belfast-born conductor Courtney Lewis, himself recently named Assistant Conductor of the New York Philharmonic beginning in the 2014-15 season. This will be Lewis' debut with the Houston Symphony, leading the combined forces of the orchestra, the Houston Symphony Chorus and four renowned vocalists, in a program of Stravinsky's Pulcinella (complete) and Beethoven's inspirational Mass in C.
