Maestro Riccardo Muti chose to perform the hourlong Symphony No. 2 in E Minor, Op. 27, in full, and he made sure the energy never flagged and the orchestra’s focus never wavered.
While in Jordan for a symphony concert, Muti plans to visit the Zaatari camp, a symbol of the long-running Syrian refugee situation and home to about 80,000 refugees nearly 11 years after it was set up near the Syrian border.
Music director Riccardo Muti will be stepping down from his post, but will remain an integral part of the orchestra’s operations and will return to the podium for a series of concerts.
