The Orchestra of St. Luke’s has announced details of its 2012-13 season, which will encompass performances at New York venues including Carnegie Hall, Baryshnikov Arts Center, Brooklyn Museum, and Morgan Library & Museum. The orchestra and puppeteer Basil Twist will also journey to North Carolina for the world premiere of a “ballet without dancers” inspired by Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring during “The Rite of Spring at 100,” a yearlong commemoration of The Rite of Spring presented by Carolina Performing Arts and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Pablo Heras-Casado will make his debut as St. Luke’s new principal conductor leading a program of Beethoven and Ravel in July at the Caramoor International Music Festival in Katonah, New York; in February Heras-Casado will make his Carnegie Hall mainstage debut leading a program of Beethoven’s Egmont Overture, Schumann’s Symphony No. 4 (1841 version), Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with soloist Christian Zacharias, and Debussy’s Five Préludes (U.S. premiere of new orchestration by Hans Zender). During the 2012-13 season the orchestra will also present a semistaged performance of André Previn’s opera A Streetcar Named Desire with soprano Renée Fleming during her Perspectives series at Carnegie Hall; Brahms’s Ein Deutsches Requiem at the Saint Thomas Church, with the Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys; and continue its arts education programs with New York City public schools at the Kay Playhouse, Tribeca Performing Arts Center, and the DiMenna Center for Classical Music.
