Paavo to Guest with Chicago Symphony

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that, as part of Daniel Barenboim's last season as the Chicago Symphony's Music Director, Paavo has been invited to guest conduct the orchestra (see For final season here, some of Barenboim's favorites by Wynne Delacoma, February 18, 2005.)

Excerpt:

..."Four of the 21 guest conductors will preside over two sets of concerts each: the rising star David Robertson Feb. 8-11 and Apr. 27-May 2, and the more seasoned masters Bernard Haitink Mar. 2-11, Charles Dutoit Mar. 22-Apr. 1 and David Zinman Apr. 20-25 and May 4-6. Other notable young conductors scheduled for 2005-06 are Daniel Harding and Jukka-Pekka Saraste, both making their CSO debuts; Robert Spano, Alan Gilbert, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Andrey Boreyko and Paavo Jarvi.

"In a program the CSO is calling 'Chicago's Choice,'' Jarvi will conduct repertoire chosen by audience vote Apr. 11-15, 2006, along with George Tsontakis' Violin Concerto No. 2 with CSO concertmaster Samuel Magad.


"For more information, call (312) 294-3000."
