Despite the Utah Symphony's best efforts, unforeseeable travel complications have occurred and Austrian conductor Christian Arming will not be appearing with the Utah Symphony. He will be replaced by Maestro Larry Rachleff, who last appeared with the Utah Symphony in 2008. The program will also have some changes. Rott's Symphony in E Major will be replaced with Beethoven's 'Symphony No. 3 ('Eroica')' and Bach's 'Cantata No. 60' has been removed from the program. Boris Brovtsyn will still appear as scheduled to perform Berg's Violin Concerto. Now celebrating his twelfth season with the Rhode Island Philharmonic, Larry Rachleff is also Director of Orchestras and the Walter Kris Hubert chair at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music in Houston, and served as Music Director of the San Antonio Symphony. Mr. Rachleff has appeared as guest conductor with such prestigious orchestras as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Houston, Seattle, Indianapolis, Utah and Kansas City Symphony Orchestras and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. In 1993, he was selected as one of four American conductors to lead the Cleveland Orchestra at Carnegie Hall under the mentorship of Maestro Pierre Boulez. A former faculty member of Oberlin Conservatory, where he served as Music Director of Orchestras and Conductor of the Contemporary Ensemble, he also served as Conductor of the Opera Theatre at the University of Southern California. In 1988, Mr. Rachleff served as Music Director of the highly acclaimed American-Soviet Youth Orchestra tour. He has conducted and presented master classes at the Chopin Academy in Warsaw, the Zurich Hochschule and the Sydney and Queensland, Australia conservatories. As an enthusiastic advocate of public school music education, Mr. Rachleff has conducted All-State orchestras and festivals in virtually every state in the United States as well as throughout Europe and Canada. He has served as principal conducting teacher for the American Symphony Orchestra League, the Conductors' Guild and the International Workshop for Conductors in the Czech Republic. He returned there this summer for concerts with the Martinu Philharmonic.
