This weekend, Michael Tilson Thomas conducted the New World Symphony in what he has announced as the last concerts of his life. Michael, who is dealing with the recurrence of brain cancer, founded the orchestra 37 years ago.
The programme was Mozart piano concerto 14 and Beethoven’s 5th symphony.
Going out with a bang.
