On March 18, the Quebec baroque music ensemble Les Violons du Roy will follow up previous New York successes with Vivaldi's Nisi Dominus RV 608 and Bach's Cantata BWV 82, featuring the phenomenal American countertenor David Daniels. The Great Performers season opens on Oct. 4 with a gala featuring America's sweetheart soprano Renee Fleming and Russian barihunk Dmitri Hvorostovsky. Later in the year, sopranos Jane Eaglen, Maria Guleghina, Amanda Roocroft, Christiane Oelze, Nathalie Dessay, and mezzos Katarina Karneus and Magdalena Kozena make their New York and in some cases Noth American recital debuts.

In October the Bard Festival at Lincoln Centre will focus on Beethoven's legacy. The American Symphony Orchestra will perform 6 concerts throughout the year, including Chausson' rarely performed opera Le roi Arthus, and the world premieres of Glass's Timpani Concerto and Farberman's Cello Concerto. Special events include a Stravinsky festival, comprising films,
a symposium, two concerts by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and
a puppet version of the ballet Petrushka. The New Visions Series presents France's premiere baroque
