>	Nézet-Séguin: Haydn to Mahler October 29, 30, and 31 Verizon Hall at the Kimmel Center YNS's first concert with The Philadelphia Orchestra as Music Director Designate includes milestone symphonies by two Viennese masters working a century apart. Haydn's "Military," so named because of its trumpet-and-drum fanfare in the second movement, finds apt foil in Mahler's mighty Fifth, whose march-like first movement is said to echo the composer's childhood memories of bugle calls and military bands in his native Moravia.



>	Mozart's Requiem January 6, 7, and 8 Verizon Hall at the Kimmel Center YNS, the Orchestra's Music Director Designate, returns to conduct Mozart's Requiem for chorus, soloist, and orchestra. A piece not heard by Philadelphia Orchestra audiences in 20 years, the Requiem remains a magnificent torso and the numerous attempts to complete it have only enhanced its mystique. Hear the final, poignant utterances of one of the greatest musical geniuses ever known.
