Gothenburg 1
Before their performance on April 28 at the Gothenburg Concert Hall, Gustavo Dudamel and the GSO announced their plans for the 2011-12 concert season, the conductor's fifth as Music Director.  Next season Dudamel will lead the GSO in six different programs with repertoire ranging from beloved works by Mahler, Brahms and Mozart to contemporary pieces by Adams and Hultqvist. 

Dudamel opens the GSO's 2011-12 season with performances of Mahler's Seventh Symphony on September 8, 9 and 10.  The following week he conducts a program that includes Mozart's Clarinet Concerto with Martin Fröst as soloist, Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony, and the world premiere of Rehnqvist's Tiger Touch.  Tiger Touch has been commissioned by the GSO as a present to Dudamel in honor of his 30th birthday, which he celebrated earlier this year.  Later in the month, on September 23, he leads the GSO in a single performance of John Adams's Slonimsky's Earbox,Mendelssohn's "Scottish" Symphony, and Schumann's Concerto for Four Horns.

Dudamel then returns to Gothenburg in December for performances of Brahms's Second Piano Concerto, with Yefim Bronfman as soloist, and Mendelssohn's Second Symphony.  In March, Dudamel leads the GSO in a program that focuses on the music of  Richard Strauss and Franz Joseph Haydn, performing Strauss's Don Juan andAlso sprach Zarathustra and Haydn's Symphony No. 103, "The Drumroll."  For his last concerts of the season with the GSO, Dudamel conducts Mahler's Second Symphony, "Resurrection," with soprano Camilla Tiling and mezzo-soprano Anna Larsson.

LA Phil and Dudamel explore Brahms in "Brahms Unbound"

This May and June, Dudamel conducts the Los Angeles Philharmonic in five consecutive weeks of concerts focusing on the works of the German composer Johannes Brahms.  The series, titled "Brahms Unbound," begins with performances on May 5, 6, 7 and 8, when Dudamel conducts Brahms's Academic Festival Overture and First Symphony as well as Dutilleux's L'arbre des songes, which features violinist Leonidas Kavakos as the soloist.  The concert on May 7 will take place at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Santa Barbara, while all other concerts will be at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

The following week, on May 12, 13, 14 and 15, Dudamel leads the orchestra in Steven Mackey's Beautiful Passing, with MacArthur Prize-winning violinist Leila Josefowicz as the soloist, and in Brahms's Requiem, with soprano Christine Schäfer and baritone Matthias Goerne as soloists.
