A couple of weeks after his 77th birthday, the San Francisco-based Garrick Ohlsson was quietly going about his business when a message dropped from the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Yefim Bronfman had cancelled this coming weekend of Beethoven Emperor concertos. Might Garrick be free?
He says: ‘These concerts are especially meaningful for me, as they come 55 years after my first appearance with the orchestra under Eugene Ormandy.’
Should be good.
