Other highlights include the world premiere of a new orchestration of Richard Danielpour's A Child's Reliquary, with violinist Jaime Laredo and cellist Sharon Robinson; a festival of Mexican and Mexican-American music, including a new work by Daniel Catšn; and, in spring 2007, a festival of contemporary music featuring works by Steve Reich, Toru Takemitsu, and Tan Dun.
Guest conductors on the schedule include outgoing Dallas Symphony music director Andrew Litton, Douglas Boyd, and Eri Klas. Among the soloists are violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, pianist Shai Wosner, and violinist Cho-Liang Lin.
The orchestra also announced that as it moves from its current 3,000-seat auditorium to the 2,000-seat Segerstrom Concert Hall, it would expand its schedule, increasing the number of programs from 10 to 12 and the number of performances of each program from two to three.
