NEW YORK –– Juilliard alumna Karina Canellakis, who begins her tenure as chief conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra this fall, returns to her alma mater to conduct the Juilliard Orchestra season opener on Saturday, September 21, 2019, at 7:30pm in Alice Tully Hall. The program opens with Missy Mazzoli’s Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres) (2013), followed by Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, Op. 19 (soloist to be announced on Sept. 13), and Strauss’ tone poem Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life), Op. 40.
Tickets at $20 ($10 for full-time students with a valid ID) are available at juilliard.edu/calendar.
Grammy nominated Missy Mazzoli is the Mead Composer in Residence at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and her music has been performed all over the world. She writes this note: “Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres) is music in the shape of a solar system, a collection of rococo loops that twist around each other within a larger orbit. The word ‘sinfonia’ refers to Baroque works for chamber orchestra but also to the old Italian term for a hurdy-gurdy, a medieval stringed instrument with constant, wheezing drones that are cranked out under melodies played on an attached keyboard. It’s a piece that churns and roils, that inches close to the listener only to leap away at breakneck speed, in the process transforming the ensemble turns into a makeshift hurdy-gurdy, flung recklessly into space.” Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres) was commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, which premiered it in 2014.

Also this season, Canellakis becomes the first principal guest conductor in the history of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra (RSB), and will be the orchestra’s Artist in Focus. Internationally acclaimed for her emotionally charged performances, technical command, and interpretive depth, Canellakis has conducted many of the top orchestras in North America, Europe, the U.K., and Australia since winning the Sir Georg Solti Conducting Award in 2016.

On the operatic stage, Canellakis has conducted Die Zauberflöte with the Zurich Opera, Don Giovanni and Le nozze di Figaro with Curtis Opera Theatre, and gave the world premiere of David Lang’s opera The Loser at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. She has also led Peter Maxwell Davies’ opera The Hogboon with the Luxembourg Philharmonic.
Karina Canellakis previously served as assistant conductor of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. She received her bachelor’s degree in violin from the Curtis Institute of Music and her master’s in conducting at Juilliard.
About the Juilliard Orchestra
Juilliard’s largest and most visible student performing ensemble, the Juilliard Orchestra, is known for delivering polished and passionate performances of works spanning the repertoire. Comprising more than 350 students in the bachelor’s and master’s degree programs, the orchestra appears throughout the season in concerts on the stages of Juilliard’s Peter Jay Sharp Theater, Alice Tully Hall, David Geffen Hall, and Carnegie Hall.
The orchestra is a strong partner to Juilliard’s other divisions, appearing in opera and dance productions as well as presenting an annual concert of world premieres by Juilliard student composers.
