John Eliot Gardiner books comeback

The conductor, 81, plans to end his enforced sabbatical next month with a concert in Montpellier. He will conduct the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France in the south of France in Weber’s Oberon overture, Beethoven’s first piano concerto with soloist Piotr Anderszewski and Tchaikovsky’s second symphony.

Gardiner, who has been off work after a punching incicent last August, has yet to be reunited with his own former ensembles, the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists.
