New York, NY (Top40 Charts) This Friday and Saturday only, the Peristyle will be filled with the sounds of Britten's moody Four Sea Interludes, Arild Plau's Tuba Concerto, and the harsh beauty of Finland's landscape in Sibelius's Symphony No. 2. Conductor, Karina Canellakis, brings this vibrant program to life with featured tuba soloist
David Saltzman.
Karina Canellakis, currently serving her first season as Assistant Conductor of the Dallas Symphony, is rapidly gaining recognition as one of the most promising and exciting young American conductors. She made her Carnegie Hall conducting debut in Zankel Hall, and frequently appears as guest conductor of New York's groundbreaking International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE). This coming season, she makes her debut with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Colorado Symphony, and the Orchestra of St. Lukes.

State University since 2007. He is the director of the Bowling Green
State University Tuba/Euphonium ensemble. Most recently,
David has joined the Glimmerglass Opera Festival in Cooperstown, NY as the Principal Tuba player for their summer Series. Prior to these appointments,
