This is not the first time that Cleveland Pictures has been postponed. The work was originally supposed to premiere In January 2004; after being pushed back a week, it was rescheduled for this month.
The remainder of tonight's program is unchanged: Mozart's Flute Concerto in G major and Ravel's Valses nobles et sentimentales and La Valse. Music director Franz Welser-M‹st conducts; principal flutist Joshua Smith plays the solo part in the Mozart concerto.
