On the Case

Philharmonic Assistant Conductor Case Scaglione had a whirlwind weekend. Scheduled to conduct the Young People’s Concert on Saturday afternoon, he completed a spirited rehearsal of that "Gypsy Airs" program on Friday morning. Then, just hours later, he was tapped at the last moment to fill in for Kurt Masur — whose arrival at Avery Fisher Hall was delayed due to traffic snarls — on the first half of the evening's all-Brahms program.

The performance of Brahms’s Double Concerto, with Concertmaster Glenn Dicterow and cellist Alisa Weilerstein (herself a last-minute substitute for ailing Principal Cello Carter Brey), was Case’s subscription concert debut.

Alisa and Elliott

Cellist Alisa Weilerstein, who performs the Brahms Double Concerto this week with Concertmaster Glenn Dicterow, chatted with Elliott Carter in one of the composer's last interviews (above) before his death on Monday. 

It's No. 2 on WQXR's Top Five list of Carter videos that also includes his talk with fellow composer Steven Stucky that was produced by the Philharmonic in 2008, which holds the No. 3 spot.

Keeping Up with the Weilersteins

The Weilerstein family — including Joshua, who recently joined the Philharmonic family as an Assistant Conductor — all came together (via phone, at least) on Tuesday to discuss their musical lives on 90.9 WBUR. Listen in to get a glimpse into the musical history of this incredibly talented — and busy — family.
