On January 25-27 Alan conducts the Orchestre National de Lyon, presenting Brahms’s Third Symphony, Martinů’s First Cello Concerto featuring soloist Sol Gabetta, and Bach’s Third Orchestral Suite.

On the program, Gilbert stated, “I’ve always enjoyed conducting the Orchestre National de Lyon – both because it’s a wonderful orchestra and also because it makes it possible for me to collaborate with my sister, who is the concertmaster there. We’re doing an unusual program in that it starts with the largest work and it works down to the smallest piece. The Bach packs a great punch and I think it’ll be an inspiring way to close out the evening.”
