Backstage with Willy - Herbert Blomstedt

Time to bring to you more of the photography skills of our violinist William Haroutounian! Today we feature Willy’s photo of Herbert Blomstedt, who happens to also be our guest conductor this week. Maestro Blomstedt has joined us before and we are thrilled he is back to grace our halls again for a few days. It’s been several years since we were able to pin him down—he’s highly sought after due to his “several” years of rave reviews. After all, Maestro Blomstedt made his major conducting debut in 1954. You read that right, 1954…in fact, this July he will be celebrating his 85th birthday! And he is still going strong. There are still two more chances to see him with the NSO; don’t miss him this Saturday and Sunday conducting Beethoven and Strauss. And keep checking back for more of Willy’s photography!

If you’re anything like us, you’ll be celebrating Mozart’s birthday all. Weekend. Long. Second to putting on your best powdered wig, popping open a jug of wine, and serenading your neighbors with your best shot at first act arias from The Marriage of Figaro, what better way to celebrate than coming down to the Concert Hall on Saturday or Sunday to hear a couple of his amazing works? (you can still wear your best powdered wig)
