(A spokesperson for the FWSO confirmed to Playbill Arts that this will be a new composition, not a revised version of Golijov's Azul, which received its world premiere at Tanglewood in 2006 and its "indoor world premiere" in a revised version at the opening concert of this summer's Lincoln Center Mostly Mozart Festival.)

The program also includes Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 and Brahms's Double Concerto for Cello and Violin, featuring Gerhardt along with Indianapolis Violin Competition winner Augustin Hadelich in his Carnegie Hall debut.

Harth-Bedoya, who will conduct, first gained attention as Assistant and then Associate Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic; he has since developed a thriving guest-conducting career in addition to his duties with the FWSO. Since he took up the Fort Worth post in 2000, the orchestra has launched an admired "Great Performances" festival, which concentrates on the music of a single composer, at the end of August each year; made its first major-label recording; and begun its first-ever Mahler symphony cycle.
