Juraj Valcuha
Conductor Juraj Valcuha has been taking the music world by storm for the last few years. He's only 36, but has already led most of the top orchestras in Europe and America. Last season saw him debuting with the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony, and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, along with return engagements with other top orchestras. We'll hear a performance from Valcuha's big year. He leads the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Sergei Rachmaninoff's 3rd Symphony.
