/ Akiko Fujimoto is the Music Director of the Mid-Texas Symphony, who perform regularly in New Braunfels and Seguin.
The Mid-Texas Symphony’s Music Director, Akiko Fujimoto, has one more concert with the ensemble this weekend, but she is already looking forward to the fall.
“We hope that [it] will be a great kind of reunion after a really tough year of missing each other and sort of being fragmented,” Fujimoto said by phone recently, referring to what will hopefully be a “normal” schedule of full-sized orchestra concerts with the Mid-Texas Symphony, beginning in September. “We were never able to do anything with our normal 70-person orchestra just because of social distancing on stage, safety issues,” she explained.

Esa-Pekka Salonen walked on stage to join the New York Philharmonic, which had not gathered before an audience for exactly 400 days. “On behalf of all us on stage, welcome back,” the conductor told the crowd Wednesday night. “We have been dreaming of this moment for a long time.”
The Philharmonic gave its first public performance after a historic hiatus of more than 13 months caused by the coronavirus pandemic, playing in the vast McCourt Theater at the Shed in Hudson Yards, about two miles from its under-renovation Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
