The Juilliard Orchestra has announced details of its 2015-16 season. Alan Gilbert—director of Juilliard’s orchestral and conducting studies and music director of the New York Philharmonic—will lead A Ring Journey, his arrangement of Wagner’s Ring cycle, on a November 24 program at Carnegie Hall that also includes works of Schumann and Berg. Pablo Heras-Casado and Gianandrea Noseda will lead their first Juilliard Orchestra concerts on November 12 and January 25, respectively. Itzhak Perlman will conduct an all-Tchaikovsky program at the newly renamed David Geffen Hall (formerly Avery Fisher Hall) on December 14. In March, together with performers from the Juilliard dance program, the orchestra will perform Heinrich Baermann’s Adagio for Clarinet and Strings and Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll. The theme of Juilliard’s annual January Focus! festival, led by Jeffrey Milarsky, will be “The Music of Milton Babbitt.” The orchestra will perform in the Juilliard opera division’s three 2015-16 productions: Poulenc’s Les mamelles de Tirésias, Viktor Ullmann’s Der Kaiser von Atlantis, and Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte.
