Matías Tarnopolsky announced Cal Performances's 2011-2012 season at a press conference today. We were seated on the stage and at one point Peter Sellars joined the conference via Skype from Vienna, where his new work is currently in rehearsal.
Mark Morris opens the next season, and he will be conducting Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. The soloists include Stephanie Blythe and Philip Cutlip. Eric Owens, Philippe Jaroussky, and Susan Graham all have recitals. More New Music and Early Music programming will be announced in September.
