In Goerne's absence, the orchestra will replace the Schubert with a work from one of its other tour programs: Mozart's Sinfonia concertante for winds and orchestra, K. 297b, with four Philadelphia Orchestra principals as soloists: Richard Woodhams (oboe), Ricardo Morales (clarinet), Daniel Matsukawa (bassoon) and Jennifer Montone (horn). Music director Christoph Eschenbach conducts.
Philadelphia Orchestra spokespeople have expressed hope that Goerne will be able to make his two remaining scheduled dates on the tour: May 26 at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco and June 3 at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall in Washington, D.C.
