Royal Philharmonic Announces Conductor Change at Mondavi Center

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra has replaced Charles Dutoit on its forthcoming tour with Thierry Fischer, music director of the Utah Symphony and principal guest conductor of the Seoul Philharmonic.

Swiss conductor and leader of the Utah Symphony Thierry Fischer leads the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra through a largely Romantic program, one topped off with Stravinsky's bracing 1911 version of Petrushka.

Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet returns to tackle Liszt's lyrical, masterfully constructed second piano concerto.

Program:

Respighi: Fountains of Rome

Liszt: Piano Concerto No. 2

Stravinsky: Petrushka (1911)
