Mostly Mozart for Houston Symphony
The Houston Symphony has released its 2005-2006 schedule and--perhaps in keeping with the times--it's even more conservative than usual. Wall-to-wall Mozart is the major emphasis in celebration of the boy wonder's 250th birthday and the atrophied tastes of the orchestra's patrons. The premiere of John Harbison's Double Bass Concerto will be the only major work by a composer who is still living, although the season includes smaller works by Argentine Osvaldo Golijov, Canadian John Estacio and Frenchman Guillaume Connesson (the American premiere of his Adagio for orchestra).
