One of the foremost conductors of his generation, Shelley will lead seven major projects and 12 performances in his first season with the orchestra, featuring an exciting range of repertoire and world-renowned soloists.

I’ve recently been listening to a beautiful album by my friend Carlos Simon, the great American composer, entitled Requiem for the Enslaved. It came out a few years ago, but I’ve only started listening to it in the last few months.…
